Good news for fans of old-school fast food restaurant, Waffletown! It is making a comeback and it will be reopening at NEWest in West Coast.

Waffletown is currently soft-launching with a limited menu and it will officially open on 31 May 2022.

For those of you who haven’t been to Waffletown, it is a family-owned retro fast-food restaurant that has been serving American food such as burgers, fried chicken and Belgian waffles for the past forty years in Singapore.

Waffletown closed down on 18 May 2021 due to rental problems and its former premise at Balmoral Plaza was taken over by FairPrice Finest.

Other than its popular waffles, Waffletown also offers burgers, fried chicken, fries and ice cream.

Do note that some of your favourite menu items may not be available yet as Waffletown is currently only serving a limited menu.

Waffletown at Balmoral Plaza is closing down on 18 May 2021. This is a sad and shocking news for fans of Waffletown.

According to an article by Mothership.sg, the closure is a result of “rental problems” and its current premises is rumoured to be taken over by a supermarket chain.

For those of you who haven’t been to Waffletown, it is a family-owned retro fast-food restaurant that has been serving American food such as burgers, fried chicken and Belgian waffles for the past forty years in Singapore.

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

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.

A cosy eatery devoid of the hustle and bustle and pretentious aesthetics, serving comfort food at reasonable prices.

We will definitely miss Waffletown when it is gone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
