Arnold's Fried Chicken (Hougang)

Expensive kopitiam-standard food. Okay the fish was quite a lot, but ordinary. The fries sucked. I guess stick to their chicken.

There was a time Arnold's represented nostalgia and satisfaction. I was craving it. Although this was fine, it's no longer ahead of the competition. It's juicy but the marinade was confusing. The fries were a bit too thick for me as well. The best thing was actually the coleslaw!

Call me suaku but I tried Arnold’s for the first time in my life after hearing raving reviews from many friends. Upon stepping into the restaurant, I had higher expectations immediately judging by the sheer number of delivery orders waiting at the restaurant counter!! Ordered their 2-person Combo meal for $24.80. OMG THE CHICKEN SKIN IS SUPERRRRRR YUMS!!! There seems to be some powdery texture that makes it extra tasty!! The meat is not dry either. All in all, a fantastic (but rather pricey) meal for two!

Yes I love the fancy Korean fried chicken, the addictive msg-enhanced KFC and my ever-crunchy Popeyes. But it's always a walk down the memory lane whenever I get to enjoy the simple traditional fried chicken from Arnold's Fried Chicken. 😋 So filled with childhood memories. ☺️

This was an extremely sinful meal, but who cares!

Arnold’s has been my go to fried chicken joint for quite awhile now; and i usually go for their half spring chicken meal.

The chicken skin is super crispy and the meat very tender & juicy. Their coleslaw is also very good, so good that we always order an extra portion to share.

So expensive though $34. This is my first time trying Arnold's, some thoughts; their chickens are better cooked than KFC. Very juicy and tender, not bloody or dry. However it is very oily, not much spice or flavour. The mashed potato is tasteless. I would still rank KFC as my favourite but Arnold's can cook better 😂 maybe lesser MSG?😂
