When one mentions waffles, the image that usually comes to mind is a plate of freshly made waffles drenched in saccharine maple syrup or topped with ice cream. But contrary to what you may think, waffles can also be enjoyed paired with savoury ingredients instead of always sweet ones.

Savoury waffles are not uncommon but they are not as readily available as their sugary counterparts. There are a number of places that serve up some pretty solid chicken waffles but don’t restrict yourselves to just that; some places even have some pretty interesting creations such as duck confit waffles, smoked salmon waffles and chicken waffles topped with kimchi!

If you’re someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth and you’d like to have a savoury waffle for a change, we are here to help you suss out where you can find some of the best savoury waffles in Singapore. Here is our list of 9 places in Singapore to get savoury waffles. 

CLINTON STREET BAKING COMPANY & RESTAURANT

If you have a voracious appetite for fried chicken, you’d definitely love Clinton Street Baking Company and Restaurant’s chicken and waffles. The chicken accompanying the waffles here is huge! We also love how well seasoned the chicken is and how each bite is chock full of flavour. As each serving is pretty massive, we recommend those of you who have smaller appetites to share this with someone.

DUCKLAND 

Duckland’s name is an easy giveaway to what waffles they specialise in — duck waffles! Their Duck Confit & Waffle features a fork-tender confit duck leg that is encrusted in a smoky, crisp skin that brims with intense flavours of duck fat. We recommend drizzling some of the provided maple syrup over the waffle for a whole new experience.

OVEREASY

Serving popular American diner fare, OverEasy’s Momma’s Chicken & Waffles served with warm maple butter is undoubtedly one of the better Chicken & Waffles on this list. The chicken here is fried to a satisfying golden crisp which is further enhanced by the syrupy maple butter.

Revelry specialises in waffles and is a waffle lovers paradise. They have every kind of waffle out there that you’ve ever dreamed of such as Prawn n Cheese Waffle, Truffle Scrambled Eggs Waffle, O.K.

STATELAND COFFEEHOUSE 

Ever heard of a Korean fried chicken waffle? We didn’t until we came across Stateland Coffeehouse and here, they have a completely unheard of waffle creation — Spicy Korean Fried Chicken with Kimchi Slaw! We love how the kimchi adds an interesting tangy touch to the entire dish that surprisingly works. If kimchi isn’t your thing, they also have the basic Korean Fried Chicken Waffle and Soy Korean Fried Chicken Waffles.

THE BEAST 

The Beast’s Chicken and Waffles is made using their Signature fried chicken. We appreciate how the chicken comes in a massive slab that covers the entire waffle; truly value-for-money! If you like your chicken waffles with a touch of sweetness you can also drizzle some of their one-of-a-kind house-made bourbon maple butter sauce on top of it.

WAFFLETOWN 

It would be an absolute crime to do up a list of places that sells waffles and leave out Waffletown. The retro fast food joint is famous for its American-style dishes that mostly consist of waffles. Aside from the usual array of ice cream waffles, they sell a really mean chicken waffle that we honestly can say is one of the best in Singapore.

WHISK & PADDLE 

Tucked away in Punggol is Whisk & Paddle, a place where you get to enjoy your waffles with an amazing view of Punggol Waterway. We love how they paired their fluffy waffles with savoury smoked salmon as well as two beautifully poached eggs. It’s incredibly satisfying to break open the egg and watch all that runny yolk coat the waffles and salmon.

WILD WOOD CAFE

A good, hearty breakfast starts your day right. And it puts you in a good mood if you are eating something awesome.

If your usual jam and peanut butter sandwich breakfast is starting to bore you, we have something more exciting to tell you. KFC is launching a new breakfast product on their menu which combines two of Singaporeans’ favourite food—waffles and chicken! Now, who said the world-famous KFC Original Recipe Chicken is only available for lunch and dinner? You can have it for breakfast too!

Inspired by the recent sweet and savoury food trend, all eyes will be on the Waffle Chicken Riser and Waffle Chicken Platter when they launch on 26 July 2017. 

KFC BREAKFAST MENU WITH TWO NEW ADDITIONS

If there is one reason why we are always anticipating seasonal items and new recipes from KFC, that is because they are always up-to-date with the latest food trends that captures the nation’s attention.

Those who have been following us would know about our obsession with Chicken & Waffles; this typical American-diner food is constantly on our minds and honestly, we would continue having it even when the trend dies down.

Imagine our delight when we found out that KFC is offering not one but two new breakfast items comprising fluffy waffles and fried chicken!

WAFFLE CHICKEN RISER

No time to stop by for a full breakfast? No worries! The Waffle Chicken Riser is perfect for both dining in and takeaway. All the flavourful ingredients are piled on top of each other just like a burger so you can grab a quick bite while you are on the go.

You will find KFC’s Signature Original Recipe chicken fillet, fresh whole egg and a slice of cheese in between two pieces of warm toasted waffles. To top it all off, the waffles will be drizzled with sweet maple syrup sauce so you get a combustion of sweet and savoury flavours.

Get the Waffle Chicken Riser Meal at S$5.60 which will entitle you to 1 Waffle Chicken Riser, 1 Hash Brown and 1 Hot Coffee. It is also worth mentioning that only premium Java Arabica and Robusta beans are used to brew your cuppa!

WAFFLE CHICKEN PLATTER

Lo and behold, our current favourite on KFC’s breakfast menu—Waffle Chicken Platter. It has everything you would ever need to wake up to.

The plate of goodness includes KFC’s Signature Original Recipe chicken fillet, buttery scrambled eggs, crispy hash brown, two pieces of sinfully good turkey bacon and two pieces of toasted waffles. The flavourful scrambled eggs melted in our mouths and all of us at the table polished it off in an instant.

Enjoy the Waffle Chicken Platter Meal for S$7.90, which comes with 1 Waffle Chicken Platter and 1 Hot Coffee. That’s an extremely affordable breakfast option, considering you get both a full breakfast platter and a morning pick-me-up!

PANCAKES & TURKEY BACON PLATTER

Of course, the mainstays of KFC’s breakfast menu are still available at all KFC outlets in Singapore. The Pancakes & Turkey Bacon Platter is an all-time favourite and we can see why it is so popular.

Every order comes with creamy scrambled eggs, golden brown hash brown, two pieces of fried turkey bacon and soft, fluffy pancakes that are paired with rich butter and maple syrup.

With both sweet and savoury items on the platter, this is what we call “having the best of both worlds”.

ORIGINAL RECIPE TWISTER & AMERICAN TWISTER

Anyone a fan of wraps? You get two delectable choices from KFC’s breakfast menu.

The Original Recipe Twister is a mixture of classic breakfast items combined in one wrap—filled with Original Recipe chicken fillet chunks, scrambled eggs, sliced tomatoes, cheddar cheese and drizzled with mayonnaise.

Those who prefer something stronger can opt for the American Twister instead. Expect to see ingredients such as turkey bacon slices, scrambled eggs, hash brown and savoury cheese sauce in a toasted tortilla wrap.

ORIGINAL RECIPE PORRIDGE

On days when you are looking for something comforting, the Original Recipe Porridge will do the trick. We love the consistency of the porridge, which was neither too thick nor too watery for our liking.

The addition of KFC’s Signature Original Recipe chicken fillet, chopped spring onions and crispy shallots gave it more textural variety and flavours.

From Wednesday (26 July 2017) onwards, head down to any KFC outlet in Singapore for breakfast and be among the firsts to indulge in their new Waffle Chicken Riser and Waffle Chicken Platter!

This is definitely one of their best breakfasts yet.

This post is brought to you by KFC Singapore. 

Singaporeans seem to have an unfathomable appetite for waffles. Over the years, many cafes and dessert joints have boasted the iconic dish in numerous innovative ways to satisfy our cravings (and Instagram feeds), but it is a shame that in the midst of all the hype, many people have neglected one of Singapore’s oldest fried chicken and waffle joint.

Waffletown at Balmoral Plaza is a family-owned retro fast food restaurant that has been serving American food such as burgers, fried chicken and Belgian waffles for the last thirty odd years in Singapore.

At Waffletown, expect no gimmicks, just great food and possibly the best (and simplest) waffles around.

The first thing that greeted us at Waffletown was the strong whiff of fried chicken goodness coupled with the sweet, doughy smell from freshly made waffles—we had officially arrived in Heaven.

To cool ourselves down, we started off with one of their signature Belgium waffles topped with ice cream (S$2.90). At first glance, you may assume this dish to be immensely basic—well it is—but it was so good.

Raspberry ripple flavoured ice cream atop a toasty and crunchy waffle. Perfect for a hot day—or any day for that matter.

The two-piece fried chicken (S$8.50) was beyond amazing. Marinated and deep-fried to perfection, the chicken was super crispy on the outside but moist and succulent on the inside. An added bonus is that it was not the slightest bit oily.

The sides that came along with it were decent but nothing much to shout about.

We also got the Super Value Meal (S$6.80) which consisted of a deep-fried boneless chicken thigh, white rice and a fried egg with a runny yolk. For what it’s worth, we think that it is a pretty good deal considering the large portion size.

The chicken was deep fried to perfection and the egg was cooked just right. However, we wish the rice could have been more aromatic and flavourful to better complement the other two components.

Waffletown was truly a breath of fresh air. A cosy eatery devoid of the hustle and bustle and pretentious aesthetics, serving comfort food at reasonable prices. We will definitely be back.

Tucked away in Lorong Kilat, Revelry is a waffle specialty cafe in the west of Singapore which boasts a lively yet enticing vibe that illuminates the entire street. Stepping in, your spirits will instantly be lifted by the vibrant colours and colourful wall murals.

Get even more excited as Revelry has a waffle pizza on their menu. The O.K Waffle Pizza (S$16) consists of a unique combination of Otah chunks, kai lan and baked mozzarella.

We decided to go for the classics and one of the most popular items on the menu – Chicken & Waffles (S$17).

The combination of the crisp waffles and the juicy deep-fried chicken thigh was a match made in heaven and all the textures just weaved together seamlessly. The seasoning on the fried chicken thigh could not have been done better and both the spices and the batter of the chicken was done right.

Since Revelry specialises in waffles, we definitely had no qualms about the one that was served to us. It was both fluffy on the inside and crisp on there outside. The Chicken & Waffles combination also comes with maple syrup on the side, and lettuce and cherry tomatoes for an added crunch.

If Chicken & Waffles are not up your alley, some other savoury creations to try are Prawn Avocado Tartare (S$17.50), Strawberries & Cheese (S$14) and the adorably named Monkey King (S$14) – which is really a dessert waffle with banana cake chunks, caramelised bananas, toasted walnuts and vanilla ice cream.

Also, did we mention that Revelry has free Wi-Fi?

Chicken & Waffles is EVERYTHING.

A typical all-American diner food this is, and one that we always crave for. Somehow, we didn’t have many options in Singapore, till recently. Suddenly, everyone is crazy about Chicken & Waffles, and that means more and more F&B establishments are jumping onto the bandwagon and coming up with their renditions.

We are certainly not complaining; we are up for this dish of fluffy waffles with fried golden-brown chicken anytime!

Chicken & Waffles first started gaining popularity in American-theme restaurants such as OverEasy and The Beast. Now, you can even find value-for-money options in coffee shops and in the heartlands of Singapore. We have collated a list of Best Chicken & Waffles in Singapore You Must Try! 

#1 ARTEASTIQ BOUTIQUE TEA HOUSE

For those who are more health-centric, you would be happy to know that there is actually a healthier option of Chicken & Waffles. Arteastiq Boutique Tea House’s Chicken & Waffles (S$22) comes with pan-fried chicken bits (instead of being coated with batter then deep-fried), onions and salad – all sitting atop of whole-wheat waffles.

The waffle comes with Thai mayonnaise sauce instead of the usual maple syrup, and that gives the overall dish a hint of an Asian flavour.

#2 CLINTON STREET BAKING COMPANY

What we always look out for when it comes to this American dish is the actual marinate and cook on the chicken. The Chicken & Waffles (S$21) was a 50/50 for us. The chicken was huge but a bit too dry for our liking. But what we were happy about, was the lovely seasoning on the chicken.

The dish is served with some maple butter on the side. Do note that the portion here is huge and it is probably more than enough for two to share!

#3 DANCING CRAB

Who would have thought that a seafood restaurant could serve a decent portion of Chicken & Waffles (S$15)? For the reasonable price, you get huge chicken pieces and a whole waffle, cut up into four pieces. Even if the waffle itself was not a star, the chicken we had was good enough to make this dish utterly irresistible.

Not only was the marinate spot-on, the cook on the chicken was so perfect, leaving the chicken still crisp and juicy when we bit into it.

#4 GRIDDY

Griddy is an eatery at Westgate which specialises in waffles. Their Battered Chicken & Waffle (S$9.90) is served with waffle fries, fresh salad and Arrabbiata sauce on the side. The fact that this whole dish is priced below the S$10 is already a pull factor.

Griddy also has a Barbecued Chicken with Turkey Bacon Waffle (S$8.90) option for those who prefer their chicken not to be deep-fried.

#5 OVEREASY

Serving popular American diner fare, OverEasy’s Waffles with Breaded Wings (S$22) served with maple syrup and whipped honey butter is undoubtedly one of the better Chicken & Waffles on this list. Our only gripe is that chicken wings were used instead of thigh or breast, making it hard to eat (unless you are a pro at it – without using your hands).

With that said, the waffle was fluffy and yummy. The portion is huge, too!

#6 REVELRY

This waffle specialty cafe in the West of Singapore is a popular spot for many and it was packed at 3pm on a random weekday afternoon, so we could only imagine the crowds that flock here on weekends.

The Chicken & Waffles (S$17) was spot on in many ways. The overall textural balance was amazing – from the fluffy waffles, to the crunchy salad, and the crisp yet juicy deep-fried chicken thigh.

#7 THE BEAST

As one of our favourite unique waffles in Singapore, The Beast’s Chicken & Waffles (S$20) is probably the most authentic one. Just hearty goodness, without all that extra fluff.

The bourbon maple syrup served on the side is so good, we pretty much licked the entire glass bottle clean.

After the resounding success of their first outlet at Grandstand, Dancing Crab has since opened a brand new outlet at Orchard Central, replacing the space where Noodle Stories used to be. Dancing Crab is known to be one of the best Cajun-Creole restaurants in Singapore, pampering its patrons with authentic Louisianan cuisine.

Now, Dancing Crab in Orchard Central is also open for lunch every day, and you can expect a list of affordable lunch items, featuring their same fresh seafood and ingredients. Some new dishes have also been added to the existing menu, including new flavours for their ever-popular seafood boil.

Here are some highlights and dishes we loved at Dancing Crab, and there is no reason you wouldn’t too! Time to get your hands dirty, pals!

[ GIVEAWAY ] We are giving away S$250 Dancing Crab dining vouchers. Leave a comment below, and share this post on your Facebook timeline to win. More details on the giveaway at the end of this post.

A definite thirst-quencher is Dancing Crab’s range of colourful lemonades, served in a mason jar. As the seafood and dishes can be quite heavy in flavour, the lemonades are your best bet to wash down the rich tastes.

They offer a range of homemade lemonades such as the classic Fizzy Lemonade (S$4), our favourite Strawberry Lemonade (S$4) and the unique Key Lime Pie Lemonade (S$4). In Singapore’s relentlessly humid weather, a cup of ice cold lemonade is not only good for the soul, but for your Instagram too. Just how pretty are they?

The new lunch menu offers mains that mostly cost S$15 and below. With a pocket-friendly menu, be treated to generous servings of New Orleans-style fare like fish tacos and heartier shrimp dishes.

The Fish Tacos (S$11) has the option of fried or grilled fish and is served on a bed of sliced cabbage and topped off with onions and red peppers. This dish is great for those who do not want an overly heavy lunch.

If you are feeling ravenous during lunch, opt for their rice dishes, especially the Shrimp Etoufee (S$13). This is the pinnacle of comfort food, where the medley of flavours will immediately remind you of home. Not to mention that this dish also features a really generous amount of shrimps that will most certainly fill you up.

Shrimp lovers also have another choice of tasty Creole Black Pepper Shrimp and Rice. Accompanied with deep-fried bananas fritters (that tastes just like Singapore’s delicious Goreng Pisang), black beans and a side of mango salsa, we loved that this dish is a marirage of contrasting flavours. Wash this down with a cup of their refreshing lemonade and we promise you you will be recharged for the rest of the day.

We were wowed by the huge serving of Chicken & Waffles (S$15) at Dancing Crab, one of the best non-seafood dishes here. The batter on the chicken reminded us of the ones we had at New York City, and the accompanying sauces took this dish to a whole new level. It is indeed unexpected for a specialised seafood restaurant to dish such a mind-blowing rendition of fried chicken, and as much as it sounds funny, we will totally return to Dancing Crab for this very Chicken & Waffles.

Fans of seafood rolls, listen up. The Popcorn Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich (S$15) looks set to be a winner. Featuring a generous serving of fried shrimp cocooned in a buttery toasted brioche, this is what heaven is, and we’d gladly ditch the idea of dinner at a fine dining restaurant for a fuss-free Popcorn Shrimp Po’ Boy Sandwich fix.

The team at Dancing Crab has upped the ante of the classic Cornbread (S$5) by tweaking the ingredients so that the cornbread tastes as close to the version in U.S. as it can be. This is a splendid sharing portion if you are dining in a bigger group, and be sure to dip the bread into the cream sauce for a more fulfilling bite.

Now, we are on to the best stuff! Dancing Crab offers a variety of seafood boils that features premium shellfish and crustaceans such as Dungeness Crab, Sri Lankan Crab, Boston Lobster and even the highly sought after Crystal Crab. The boils that they offer are definitely the star of the menu, and it is the reason many flock to Dancing Crab for.

A seafood boil is best enjoyed ‘messily’ with your bare hands. The seafood and other ingredients will be spilled out on the table and to achieve the ultimate experience here, consume the dish the classic way – with your bare hands. Trust us when we say that the food will taste better when you eat it this way, where you can get the full flavours out from the seafood, especially the crabs and lobsters. Of course, sharing it with your loved ones is the cherry on top; communal dining at its best, we’d say!

We had the classic Combo Bag 1 (S$80) that features a full Sri Lankan Crab, 300g of prawns, 250g of mussels with potatoes, corn, carrots and sausages. This bag is good for about 2-3 pax, but some can even finish it up on their own! You can choose between different sauces, and while the signature cajun sauce is the killer, we highly recommend a go at their delicious new addition – the Spicy Miso Butter. Expect intense flavours that will only leave you wanting more.

For garlic lovers, the Zesty Garlic Butter sauce comes with generous amounts of chopped garlic that makes your seafood boil, of choice, extra tasty and fragrant. The Lobster Combo (S$121) includes a huge Boston Lobster with the same accompanying ingredients. Lobster and garlic is a sure-win combo and we could not stop singing praises of how tasty this sauce is.

Combo Bag 2 (S$40) is a lot more affordable and it comes with 300g of prawns, 250g of mussels, 250g of clams, potatoes, corn and sausages.

End your meal off with Dancing Crab’s delectable Beignets (S$6). Beignets are essentially deep-fried choux pastry, finished off with icing sugar. The beignets here reminded us of freshly prepared doughnuts and we loved how fluffy these ones were. Good desserts need not be fancy, as long as they taste good!

Of the many Louisiana seafood restaurants in town, Dancing Crab has the most competitive prices without compromising on the quality of their ingredients and seafood. And with the introduction of new lunch options, burning a hole in your pocket is the least of your worries now.

Truffle Mac & Cheese Waffle (S$12.50) sounds like a heavenly combination you can only get in your wildest dreams. Thankfully, Montana Brew Bar has aced this with their own rendition that tastes even better than it looks. Our tip is to skip the salsa on the side and just dive right into the waffle.

#8 OLD HEN COFFEE BAR

If you are here for their popular cold brewed coffee, why not savour that with their inexpensive and delicious Waffles (S$10) served with a side of stewed apples, greek yogurt and crushed pistachio? What impressed us the most was the generous amount of stewed apples which were incredibly delicious.

#9 SPATHE PUBLIC HOUSE

While Spathe Public House is known for their Chicken and Waffles, we’ve decided to venture out of the norm to savour the latest waffle on their menu, Tiger Prawn Waffle ($21).

Cooked in garlic butter and white wine then de-shelled for easy consumption, the tiger prawns were fresh and juicy, a perfect partner to the savoury squid ink waffle base.

#10 STATELAND CAFE

Stateland Cafe’s Red Velvet Waffles (S$14.90) has been touted as the best red velvet waffle in Singapore by many and we couldn’t agree more. Slathered generously with cream cheese, the whole dish is a delight to the tastebuds.

#11 THE BEAST

Chicken and waffles are a common Southern cuisine and The Beast, inspired by Southern food culture, serves probably the best one (S$20) in Singapore. Don’t be fooled by the mini serving of bourbon maple syrup on the side because it’s so delicious that you might end up licking it clean.

#12 THE COLD PANTRY

The Chocolate Root Beer Waffle (S$12.50) is out of this world. Although chocolate in the batter made the waffle slightly cake-ier in texture, we liked that the waffle still stayed crisp throughout and the added chocolate chip cookie, charcoal vanilla soft-serve and the homemade root beer sauce all came together perfectly.
