EATS: Wingstop @ MyTOWN KL

The plan was to visit MyTOWN and enjoy some delicious Swedish meatballs at IKEA. While walking in MyTOWN on the way to IKEA, I happened to see a banner that said "MONDAY BUY 10 FREE 10 WINGS" and before I knew it, I was stepping into this restaurant. 

WINGSTOP @ MYTOWN KL

The promotion was specifically for the Boneless Wings cut which to me sounded like a great deal at RM25.90 for a total of 20 wings (Buy 10 Free 10). Stepping into the restaurant, I was directed to the 'Order Here' station which consisted of an iPad placed in front of a large pillar that held a sign detailing all the different flavours they had. Ordering is simple: Place your orders and once you're done, scan the QR code of one of the vibrating pagers prepared next to the iPad and take a seat. I ordered an extra serving of quarter chicken as I thought the wings wouldn't be enough. We tried the following flavours:

Louisiana Rub, Hickory Smoked BBQ, Classic Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan for the Boneless Wings (you get to choose 4 flavours!) and Oriental Sweet Soy and Lemon Pepper for the quarter chicken (you get to choose 2 flavours here). 

The promotion included an addon option of a drink and a side for RM3 which I added and chose onion rings as my side dish. 

The onion rings arrived first before the quarter chicken and then the wings. 

REVIEW

The first flavours I tried were Lemon Pepper and Oriental Sweet Soy. When the chicken was served, the smell of pepper from the Lemon Pepper was rather overwhelming. Even so, Lemon Pepper ended up being my favourite flavour. The Oriental Sweet Soy was a bit like a sweet black pepper sauce, which was nice but not really up my alley. The Quarter Chicken we were served consisted of pieces of chicken breast and drumstick and was hot and juicy upon serving. A description on the wall claims that all chicken is fried to order and it appears to be true. 

The boneless chicken wings were served next, piping hot. From those four flavours, I personally liked the Classic Buffalo the most. It wasn't very spicy, but had a slight vinegarish taste which I really liked as it cut through the oily heaviness of the fried chicken. The Hickory Smoked BBQ was quite straightforward; crispy fried chicken doused in BBQ sauce. The Louisiana Rub was your basic fried chicken tossed in some extra spices. Sadly, the Garlic Parmesan was rather disappointing, it felt like plain fried chicken topped with some parmesan, couldn't really detect the garlic. Since it was rich on rich, it was a bit too one-dimensional for me. 

The chicken itself was nice although I felt that since the wings were boneless, there was a bit too much breading on each piece which meant that after just 4 pieces I felt really full and jelak. I would say it was a bit on the oily side as well if you were to compare it to Korean Fried Chicken Wings as well, although this wouldn't be a valid comparison since these are American style chicken wings. A recommendation I would have is to order a fresh side like coleslaw. I do wish they had a fresh salad side option to help with the heaviness of the meal. 

Service wasn't the absolute best, the staff seemed rather down or shy. The promotion is an absolute deal and it's definitely worth trying out the various flavours that they have! 

RATING: 3/5

Try it for: A wide variety of flavours, American-style chicken wings 

Can be improved: Variety of sides, oiliness.
