<![CDATA[Where was the first A&amp;W in Singapore?]]>Please do not google or search…just from your pure memory if you are a fan…


Why A&W so special because it was the FIRST FAST FOOD restaurant in Singapore.

Mathsparks have mentioned Supreme House…

Any more guesses just for fun?

This root beer thing is very addictive. Actually the coney dogs are really nice too. If it is back, I am sure my kid will love it!
Thanks. I sign liao.
[quote]We were in M'sia last week of Dec hols. The shopping mall fast food restaurant were all packed, except A&W.

Becos the boys have never tasted root beer float, we ordered one for them and also a cheeseburger meal. The french fries were room temperature and the burger not worth mentioning.

I think if someone brings A&W back into S'pore, it still wont make it.

Its waffles and root beer float aren't unique items. With no signature item, it's really diificult to see it surviving in S'pore.[/quote]Could it be a case of poor service? I was in M'sia over the Dec hols and went to a small fast food restaurant. DS1's friend ordered 2 set meals of 2 chickens each and got them after 15 mins. DS1 ordered a bucket of 8 chickens after his friend's order but waited for more than 30 mins before the food arrived way after his friends had finished their meals. :x :x Worst, the restaurant was not crowded at all - about 30 diners including our group of 7. :roll:

I for one don't do \"coney\" dogs. Yuck!

I dunno, just the look of it and i'm put off. πŸ˜›

I do like their curly fries.
Rootbeer float is a MUST.

Now only go Batam can binge on A&W.. πŸ˜‰
Cheap too.
I lurve Coney Dog Tuesday! I'm with you on the other two, yeah man!

Is A&W linked with Orange Julius? I vaguely recall seeing the two side by side (sharing the same store unit) when I was in San Francisco years ago.

Ok, I really dislike Orange Julius! The orange drink tastes so powdery!

Where was the first A&W in Singapore?


As far as I can remember is the one along kallang stadium road. I used to go there during my Sec Sch days.

There was another one at Marine Parade. At the shophouses near Parkway Parade and the library.
There was probably one in Kallang and another in Marine Parade but the first was on Dunearn Road. :celebrate: to A & W fans

my kids are actually quite happy with the ikea hotdog...cheap and good and without the weird looking toppings!! πŸ˜„

Agree...Ikea hotdogs are good value and taste good, problem is not many outlets and we won't pop by Ikea just for the hotdogs.

Wendy's was at Far East Plaza, right? It was supposed to be the \"better\" burger, so more expensive.


Didn't have time to read through the thread, but if the question on where the first A&W is still valid, ten my answer is the one on the canal on Dunearn/Bt Timah. Dunno why I remember that cos that was really yonks ago in the 70s. Dunno when it shut down. I must be lao liao πŸ™‚

Bingo!! You got it right! :celebrate: You so ancient meh? 😐

Now I remember. I past by that place a few times when I follow my friend's sis on weekends when she went back to her hostel in NUS. It looked out of place and I wonder how one go there. The building was very prominent but out of reach. Didn't even know it was on a canal. :stupid: :stupid:
Miss the root beer with float and hot dog. :drool: :drool: I also go on Tues to get the special discount cos as a student have to live on very low budget. It's a very special treat when got enough money. Where to sign online petition? Cannot wait already :drool: :drool: DS3 also wonder why I so addicted to root beer and though last time students so liberal can drink 'beer'. πŸ˜‰
