Brunch

No spoilers here. Just try it

Fried Chicken Waffles have been going on a while since the now defunct Montana started. I’ve tried a few here and there and always felt this dish was a forced attempt to pair 2 incompatible food together.. but at Coexist, finally it’s a beautiful marriage.

I started on another dish before trying the fried chicken waffle, so it sat for a while. Lo and behold when I finally got to it. Chicken was crunchy, steaming, juicy and well seasoned. Waffle was crispy and sweet on the outside, so fluffy on the inside. Also, probably the fluffiest waffle I’ve had in SG. Well done Coexist 👍🏼

6/5 worth all the calories, arteries choking and $

This is more of a dessert than a main. The only flavor is the flavor of the syrup.

A good buttery croissant, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, is for me always a delightful indulgent treat.

On first 3 bites, the chili oil and tomato jam gave it a pleasant “oh interesting”. Then it plateaued. While the ingredients were all plated nicely together, they felt separate. They didn’t integrate harmoniously, some texture and flavors overwhelmed the rest. Individually, the ingredients were nice but mellow. I kinda expected the flavor of the crab to be more prominent, the tomato jam stole the role though.

Overall, it’s not a bad dish, just lacked an oomph. Or maybe it just me 🤷🏻‍♀️
