Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Potato Corner at Hougang Mall appears to be facing significant operational and service issues.

Multiple reports highlight a decline in food quality, with fries described as refried, lacking seasoning, and even having an off-putting 'soapy/lemon' taste.

Portion sizes for items like the Tera Fries are also noted to have shrunk considerably while prices remain high, with a Tera Fries combo costing around $10.

Customer service is a major concern, with staff described as rude, unhygienic (handling food without masks or gloves), and openly dismissive.

Instances include staff refusing to take orders during 'break time' while customers wait, and one particularly egregious account of a chef shouting at and threatening a customer who reported an issue with their food.

The general sentiment suggests a lack of professionalism and a disregard for customer satisfaction.

We'd recommend avoiding this outlet until significant improvements in both food preparation and staff conduct are evident.

The current experience seems to fall far short of expectations for a quick-service snack.

Wait time

Expect long waiting times due to inefficient staffing.

Score: 10 · 5 sources

What customers say

Public sentiment for Potato Corner at Hougang Mall is overwhelmingly negative, primarily due to significant declines in food quality, particularly fries that are refried, lack seasoning, or have an off-putting soapy taste.

Customers also report consistently poor and rude staff service, including staff ignoring customers, being verbally abusive, and exhibiting poor hygiene practices.

Additionally, there are concerns about shrinking portion sizes for items like the Tera Fries and long waiting times.

Don't know if this is common practise for stalls to have "break time". Staff just ignore customers and sat there chit chatting having meals. One of the staff just pointed at the "break time" sign lol.…

The portion size for the Tera Fries keeps getting smaller. It used to be very big, but now it’s quite small, and still costs around $10, which isn’t cheap. This has been happening for the past few wee…
