I saw the shop from afar and wanted to try immediately. But I was taken aback the moment I see an endorsement from a food blogger. I tend to disagree with most food bloggers but I just had to trust my own instinct based on first impressions.
The menu is interesting. Typing a chicken wing is a 3 piece thing but here, a wing is the mid-joint+tail only, and a drumlet is labeled differently. So if you’re paying $3.50 for Set C, you get rice and one whole wing and that’s it. They call it 1 wing, 1 drumlet and rice. That’s like buy a tap with the handle and the faucet spelt in your face.
For $6.60 you get 2 wings, 1 egg and rice
For $7, u get a chicken fillet, egg and rice.
I went for the $7 set (B) which I think is most value for money.
The chicken is ok, the har jeong not too powering and it’s crispy. So no complaints there. The rice is almost tasteless. I had to supplement it with the chilly sauce which I think is the life saver for the day. So if you’re a non spicy eater, I won’t recommend this shop. Maybe just buy the chicken wings but check out if they’re selling you the entire wing or just the mid joint or drumlet.

Third time eating Ah Tan Chicken wings. Is quite good. Goes very well with coke or whisky for adults😉👍.
Prawn paste taste is just right. Not too strong. Will eat again.

If the original outlet at Yishun is 10/10, then sadly this would be a 1/10 for me. There is no prawn paste taste, the chicken is not cooked properly, and the rice is soggy. The only thing that is decent is the chilli. Tastes worse than normal fried chicken wings. Very disappointing.

Have not had this for some time and surprised how far standards have dropped. I don’t think it is the fault of the person cooking. It’s as though the batter has lost that unique flavour. As such, the ratings have plummeted from the initial high. It used to be one of the (few) better rated stalls in the hawker centre. Please do better because i really liked the food when it was good and i think 3/5 is a fair rating, looking forward to modifying my review if and when it gets better.

Tried them since they opened at Yishun Park HC.
Glad they opened an outlet here nearer to me. Easier access to superb prawn paste chicken wings.
Ordered set B and added 1 more wing to go along. Prawn paste batter superb fragrant and crispiness is krak krak level sound. Shiok to relive this once again.
Got queue, waited about 15mins only though. Service is quite fast.
Fantastic quality cannot go wrong with this in this HC. Do try.

At $2.20 per wing and drumlet, you'd expect a big wing. What I got when I opened my box was a miserable-looking wing. Scrawny. Over-fried. Such a disappointment. I asked how long it would take for tao pao. The cashier looked impatient and shouted back at me, "Depends on what you want?" And then said two minutes after I clarified I only wanted to take away chicken wings. Such a disappointing experience. I have tasted better prawn paste wings. This is a stall I won't go back again.

It was my first time trying the prawn paste fried chicken rice. It always had a long queue, but we came late and most stalls were closed, so we had to join the queue. The wings were nice and crispy, and the usual chicken rice garlic chilli was a good match. The rice, however, was a bit dry. Give it a try if you haven't tried it before.
