The Sailor Has Lost His Spinach

What in the world is going on here . . . Tasteless chicken, medicore cajun fries, soso mash potato and new coleslaw recipe. This is simply the more expensive version of KFC! Wait . . . it's not even up to KFC's standard! Blasphemy!!!

My darling and I have been regulars at Changi T1's Popeye's. We would drive all the way there just to savour the chicken. And they used to serve great tasty chicken. Even though their coleslaw wasn't really up to par, we gave KFC a pass just because the chicken was juicer, more succulent and downright tastier than KFC's. It even made it into my foodplaces list.

So the shock and agony of today's dinner at Popeye's really made me pissed. First, we noticed that they had made changes to menu. Our staple menu selection was a 4pcs chicken set with 3 sides and 2 drinks. But now they changed it to 4pcs chicken with 1 side and 1 drink . . . Crap. We had to order the 2pcs chicken set and top that off with another 2 sides to meet our usual order.

Next was the stab in the heart. What happen with the chicken!!?? I took one bite of it, and straight off knew they had done unspeakable nonsense to the famous chicken. It was totally tasteless . . . just plain fried chicken, not even with salt! What happen to the herb marinated chicken which they used to serve?? Bah! It truely boggles my mind to understand the reasoning for changing the recipe of a proven favourite to something so medicore . . . Are they trying to lose their business?

Whatever they are trying to do, they are losing this one customer . . . Unless they wake up and revert back. I might just try again in another month to confirm the change, but only because I wanted it so much to be untrue, to be able to say that it was just an unfortunate blip. Nonetheless, Popeye's status on my food list is now put on temporarily probation. Oh, I hope it's just a case of him missing his dose of spinach . . .
