Arnold's Fried Chicken (City Plaza)

Food: 8/10

You’ll always get a finger licking chicken from Arnold’s. You’ll get reminded of the coffee shop spring chicken but elevated. Pro tip, get the half/whole spring chicken instead of the piece meal. More bank for your buck

Finally tried Arnold’s after seeing many of my friends rave and swear by it. And I finally understand why!! The chicken was so juicy and tender, and the skin was the perfect kind of crispy without being overly oily. I didn’t expect much from their buns but I reallllly enjoyed it!! It was very soft and savoury, I think it was fried? Gives me mantou vibes and I looove my mantous😋 Thick-cut fries are not my thing but I enjoyed it as well! Oh and the portion of the coleslaw....😍😍 I’m not sure if thats their usual size or I upgraded it, but it was super refreshing and goes well with the fried chicken👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes, this is fast food, but we think it's one of the best in the city. You won't find a spicy version, only good ol' succulent chicken, available as a two-piece set or a whole Spring Chicken (from $7.90). Burppler Anne W describes it best: "The chicken is fried to perfection, its meat succulent underneath a crisp of skin. The amount of oil is just enough to not give me a layer of lip gloss."

The chicken is tender and juicy! Added the fried bun as it goes very well with the mash potatoes. I like their Bandung drink as it isn’t as sweet as the usual. Note that they do not allow request of chicken parts.

Long queue during dinner due to our muslim bros and sis breaking fast, so decided to order takeaway.

Smells good.

Taste good.

Chicken is so juicy.

But the standard really drop.

I recalled enjoying this more the last time

The chicken is fried to perfection, its meat succulent underneath a crisp layer of skin. The amount of oil is just enough to not give me a layer of "lip gloss".

However, I felt that it's a little overrated. The chicken could definitely have more spice in it. The lack of spice results in a lack of depth in the flavour 😕

Having said that, the coleslaw is refreshing and crunchy! Holistically, the meal tasted just right, although there was no wow factor 🤔

It might be a bad day in the kitchen, but I am willing to try it again at another outlet in the future!
