UK’s Dallas Chicken & Ribs At Upper Cross St Chinatown

A friend recently recommended Dallas Chicken & Ribs cos he thought it was really delicious and cheap. It’s a UK based halal fast food chain and it’s opened its first outlet in Singapore! To be honest, I haven’t really heard of it in UK cos I’m not a fan of fried chicken, but then again, most of the outlets are based in the London area – which is hardly close by!

Anyways, my Huppy’s boys and some of their girlies decided to give it a try! The outlet is located at 12 Upper Cross Street (near Chinatown MRT station). It’s a small location but I suppose it’s sufficient…

The menu wasn’t vast and there were many items unavailable… Maybe because it’s still new? Who knows!? Someone asked me a qn – if they are halal – then why do they call themselves Dallas Chicken & Ribs? My first instinct was to think pork ribs (I assume, so did the person who asked me!!??) – but then, I checked and in UK it would have been halal lamb or beef ribs!!! However, there were no ribs on the menu here!

According to Hupps, the chicken drumsticks were succulent and juicy – however, the chicken breast was a tad dry…. I had a fillet fish burger and it was OK… nothing to rave on about… But I must say – I lurrrrved the onion rings though!!! I’m not a fan of very potato-ey chips, cos I lurve the air-filled McD french sort of fries… but these chips were pleasantly nice… I suppose, what was good was that no salt was added to the chips – so you could add your own salt and make it as salty or less salty as you want! My overall summary: so-so….

After our meal – it was home-time for our regular board game sessions… This time, it was a new game called Dividends. Summary of the game is to make your fortune on the volatile stock market through buying stocks, to earning dividend payouts or selling it for profits (capital gains). The aim is to make the most money from each stock purchase (maximizing return on investment) while taking into consideration the effects of supply and demand on stock prices (market economics)….. Guess who won?!?!? Me ofcos!!! hehe… If only in real life I was that good eh! Oh well!
