Waffletown USA, Balmoral Plaza
We initially stumbled in here (Balmoral Plaza #01-02) just looking for something sweet as the name suggested. Interestingly though, they were also serving things like burgers and fried chicken, complete with those fixed-stool-table things that one sees at fast food places in the US, and even a microphone for the cashier to relay orders back to the kitchen (which was only a few feet behind him anyway). Fried chicken suddenly sounded a bit appealing, so I grabbed a simple two piece meal to try it out. While certainly edible, I definitely prefer KFC over this place, given the very bland mashed potatoes, over-creamy coleslaw, and a fried chicken that - while crispy and very tender - simply lacked the edge that the Colonel provides.
Actually, what was more interesting here was the fact that these guys were effectively serving chicken and waffles, which I didn't quite realize until after I had ordered. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, as they didn't have any combined plate of the two to offer. But hey - in the absence of Roscoe's, I suppose that one could come here for the convenience of getting the two items from the same spot. It's just that you'll have to order two separate dishes.

You mean these guys?
Waffletown has been around for years and years...used to be at the basement of the old Bukit Timah Plaza, and had the saem grease and oil for both waffles and chicken.
My Bro used to just get what he calls the 'greasebomb'...3 chicken pieces with 2 waffles...totally unhealthy and nothing great taste wise, but 'comfort food' all the same!
