Wing Stop

If you are expecting hot wings from the United States, this is not the place.
I tried the original hot wings and garlic parmesan. The wings tasted like they were frozen which I guess would be common in most eateries. They did come piping hot after a 10 – 15 minutes wait.
The hot wings sauce tasted like it was from a mix. McCormick mix to be exact. I was given a pack of that and tried making my own and had to throw away my wings as it tasted super strange. Wing Stop version was not as bad but it still had a weird taste. It was definitely not like those you get in North America where most wings were made with Tabasco base sauce. I could be wrong but I definitely could not detect the Tabasco sauce at all.
The garlic parmesan wings were marginally better but only the skin was coated and the meat was tasteless, hence the feeling it was made from frozen meat. The powder reminded me of Hot Star XL Fried Chicken where they just sprinkled the various mix over their chicken.
I doubt I will be back anytime soon.

Located just within meters of the MRT entrance to City Square is Wingstop. I dined here on a sunday at 12pm. It was pretty quiet but the pace picked up soon after 12pm. Before I knew it, the place was full and people were waiting for empty tables!
It’s quite a big outlet, as there’s seating both inside and outside the shop.
Here’s their menu with their choices of flavour. I usually go straight for BBQ or teriyaki, so being my first time here. Decided to try teriyaki first.
At the cash register, there’s a signboard explaining what are the flavours, and if you have already tried a certain flavour, they recommend you to try something else similar.
Each bill gets a beeper, and we were told the wait for the wings was about 10 – 15 minutes and for the cheese fries 3 – 5 minutes.
The counter for pick up is really small, and remember to ask for napkins, else they won’t give and there’s no where to pick up napkins either.
1. Classic Wings (Teriyaki) $ 7.90
I was quite upset that 6 pieces of wings cost me $ 7.90. I’m so used to have ordered a bucket of 25 – 50 wings in the states. Of course, when it’s wing night! Friends have commented to me that they like eating at wingstop because they sell boneless wings, which is very common in America. However, I don’t like the idea that someone had to touch my wings and take the bones off. I’m not that lazy and there’s a wash basin within sight, so I’ll happily eat these wings with my hands.
They came piping hot, but it wasn’t too hot for you to immediately devour them. I enjoyed the teriyaki sauce. All in all, a good set of wings.
2. Cheesy Fries $ 4.60
I don’t like jalapeño and I never will, so I requested for these fries to come without them. The 3 – 5 minute wait was more like a 1 minute wait, as the fries were ready almost instanteously after we had ordered them.
The cheese sauce was smooth and creamy, a slight tangy spiciness. The fries were thick cut, not the crispy kind, more of the soft chewy kind.
Not a bad combincation of teriyaki wings and cheese fries. Definitely coming back here for more cheese fries goodness.
