Kenny Rogers Roasters - Classic Rotisserie Chicken

I used to love going to Kenny Rogers Roasters when I was young. My mother used to bring me there a lot. It was cheap (by the standards at that time) and the portions were huge. Plus, it's opened by my favourite country singer, Kenny Rogers.

I don’t remember where it was located (I think it was at Marina Square) but I remembered the smell and taste of the restaurant. The restaurant felt warm and inviting with soft orange lights. Kenny Rogers songs sang softly in the background. They had the best corn muffins, hot from the oven, moist and fluffy with every bite. The whole plate would be heaped with food and I always had trouble finishing the whole plate.

Kenny Rogers Roasters disappeared for a few years, and it reopened in 2019.

The Restaurant

Kenny Rogers Roasters - Restaurant Front

Kenny Rogers Roasters recently opened a new express outlet in Clementi Mall. I have been avoiding it lest it spoils my fond memories of the brand. But I have run out of restaurants to explore so let's see if it is still as good.

The decor is clean and simple with wooden tables and chairs.

The Food

Kenny Rogers Roasters - Menu

Kenny Rogers Roasters is famous for their grilled chicken. You can’t go wrong with their Kenny’s Quarter Meal [S$12.90] or Kenny’s Half Meal [S$18.90]. Both come with choice of 2 sides and a Kenny’s Signature Corn Muffin.

Kenny Rogers Roasters - Kenny's Half Meal

This is Kenny’s Half Meal [S$18.90] with macaroni & cheese and sautéed vegetable. The chicken is so tender, the meat falls off easily at the touch of my fork.

But Kennny Roger’s signature corn muffin is not as good as it used to be. The muffin is much smaller than it used to be, and it’s not as moist.

Kenny Rogers Roasters - Kenny's Rotisserie Nasi Lemak

Kenny’s Rotisserie Nasi Lemak [S$9.90] is a new addition, pairing Singapore’s iconic nasi lemak with Kenny Rogers grilled chicken. I like that they use red rice which is healthier.

My Verdict

Kenny Rogers Roasters is still a good place for good rotisserie chicken but the corn muffin is not as good as it used to be.

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...
