Diners seem like a curious relic from the Golden Age of American hegemony in the 1950s, but if you’ve ever read an Archie comic, you’ve definitely wanted to experience an all American diner. Here at @broadwayamericandiner , you can get a taste of the quintessential American diner, complete with burgers and milkshakes.⠀
⠀
Speaking of milkshakes, it would be remiss of you not to order one. Broadway’s shakes are expensive at $13++ a glass, but these shakes are DUMMY THICC. It’s a lot more efficient to just gulp it down as opposed to trying to drink it through a straw, that’s how thick it is. I was impressed with just how close their Onde Onde shake was to real ondeh ondeh. The shake was chock full of pandan aromas & the sweetness of gula melaka, but it did get a tad too sweet after a while.⠀
⠀
As for the starters, they have Ol’ Reliable: chicken wings. I have no idea why these wings are described as Buffalo Wings ($12++ per order) as they are clearly not sauced up. Still, the crunchy coating of batter encasing the moist meat within was excellent , and these wings paired perfectly with the Peri Peri sauce on the side.⠀
⠀
These wings also feature in Broadway’s mammoth Meat Platter ($36++), which represents the carnivorous food pyramid. The long sausages in the Meat Platter were delightfully delicious with an outstanding texture, and the hamburger patties…well, that’s another review for another day.⠀
