Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits @ Tampines

I took me years to try this place out, but I finally did. I've heard tons of comments on Popeye and how this is better than KFC. This is their first outlet in the heartlands and I could wait to try it out.

Chicken
There is the option mild or spicy. Mild isn't spicy at all and spicy doesn't had the same kick level as the crispy chicken in KFC. Never the less, I prefer Poeye's mild chicken when compared to KFC. Firstly, the chicken not clobbered with thick layers of flour and the occasional fats which can still detect in the KFC. Secondly, though I like original recipe I find it a bit too salty at times, especially after one too many.

Mash and Biscuits
Even though Popeyes market themselves as "Chicken & Biscuits", what really shines its their mash. Its extremely smooth and has the consistency of custard, only that its savoury. The sauce over the mash is tasty and has bits of chicken and herbs within. It can be a bit salty, so don't wolf down the whole lot, but slowly savour it. The biscuit is crumbly and reminds me of corn bread, with a flaky interior. I feel that since its a bit savoury instead of sweet, the best way to eat it is to dip a bit of the sauce and consume instead of the jam that is provided.

I couldn't resist while I was passing by another day and got the large mash potatoes. The price difference between the large and regular was only a dollar. So why not.
