Bye Bye Diet: Shake Shack and A&W Are Coming To Our Shores

When we say that we will start dieting next year, it is probably never going to happen. But what’s going to happen, is the opening of two crowd favourites.

The rumours are true – New York’s number one, Shake Shack, will make its grand entrance in sunny Singapore and the MVP of all fast food chains, A&W, will return to Singapore in 2019! These two eateries will be opening at Jewel Changi Airport, a facility attached to Terminal 1, that also has a 40m-high indoor waterfall and a five-storey garden.

Shake Shack

Shake Shack is an American chain famous for their burgers, fries and shakes

This American fast food chain is always on everyone’s itinerary, even our Prime Minister’s! PM Lee tried their burgers during his business trip in 2017 and from the looks of it, he certainly enjoyed it.

Started from a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park, Shake Shack was such a huge hit that they opened a permanent kiosk in the park. The beloved burgers are on the top of their game, as Shake Shack uses carefully sourced premium ingredients (100% all-natural Angus beef and crinkle cut fries with zero artificial ingredients). We can’t wait!

A&W

Singapore’s well-loved fast food joint closed all five outlets in 2003 due to a downward decline but the change in management has brought business back to life. After our constant requests for the brand to make a comeback in Singapore, we are finally getting our wishes granted.

A&W is famous for their root beer floats and curly fries

Their frosty mug of caffeine-free goodness is made with real cane sugar and a blend of herbs, bark, spices and berries. Not forgetting their crispy and savoury curly fries, which is undeniably better than other fast-food chains’. We sure hope that A&W is here to stay!
