Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill - Halal Korean Stall in Tampines

Gone are the days when Muslims are restricted to Swensens and fast food such as Burger King and 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken. Halal-certified restaurants of various cuisines have been popping up in Singapore in the past few years. There is Cajun on Wheels from PasarBella (Suntec City) for seafood and Sedap Dan Sihat Steam Pot Delicacy for the halal version of steamboat.

 

I have recently reviewed halal-certified Omoomo Food Concepts (Suntec City) last week. Carrying on the search for halal-certified Korean eateries, I decided to check out Waker Chicken X Oppa Chicken in Tampines.

Located in a small coffeeshop at Tampines Street 21, Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill is not exactly the easiest place to find. There is a saying that "good food is worth waiting for", right? Well, this Korean stall in Tampines is well-worth the extra calories burned. 

As the name suggests, Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill is a collaboration between Waker Chicken and Oppa Grill. The stall in Tampines features two menu in one, so you can order from both menus without having to queue up again. 

Waker Original [$13 for Half Chicken (7 pieces) / $25 for Whole Chicken (14 pieces)] is the signature fried chicken here. What amazes me about the chicken is how big they are. I have eaten at 4Fingers Crispy Chicken before and these are twice the size. The outside is satisfyingly crispy with crushed peanuts for extra fragrance while the meat inside is tender and juicy. 

There is also Waker Hot Spicy [$13 for Half Chicken (7 pieces) / $25 for Whole Chicken (14 pieces)] and Waker Soy/ Soy Fire and Waker Sweet Spicy / Sweet Fire [$14 for Half Chicken (7 pieces) / $27 for Whole Chicken (14 pieces)].

Popularised by Korean dramas, ramyeon has become one of the most iconic Korea foods, and Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill has it in 3 flavours. This is the original Man's Ramyeon XL [$4.50+] which can be customised with additional ingredients such as Mock Meats [$1], Chicken [$1.50], Beef [$2], Mutton [$2] or Seafood [$2.50]. 

 
There is also Kimchi Ramyeon XL [$5+] and Oppa's Rabokki XXL [$5.50+]. 
 
 
Among all the Korean stews available, the most popular and well-known is the Army Stew (Bundae Jjigae) [$18]. You can top-up with ingredients such as Vegetarian Mock Meats [$3], Chicken [$4], Beef [$5], Mutton [$6] and Seafood [$7]. You have a choice of Traditional (no sugar) and Modern (sweet) broth. The portion is just nice for one person if you are having it alone. 
 
Oppa Grill also offers Korean barbecue with Table Grill Set [$20-24], Grill & Soup Set [$23-$27] and Hotpot Set [$27-$31] for 2 persons. There are 10 soup flavours to choose from and top-up platters at affordable prices. 
 
Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill may be a little hidden in Tampines, but the generous portions and affordable pricing makes the trip worth it. You be able to sample the delicious Korean dishes you saw in Korean dramas. Waker Chicken X Oppa Grill is fully Muslim-operated, so Muslim friends can eat without worry.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
