Botak Jones set to make a comeback in Singapore, opening soon in Bukit Merah
For those born in the 80s and early 90s, you probably will be familiar with the name Botak Jones – a Singapore western food chain founded by Bernard “Bernie” Allen Utchenik.
Botak Jones is known for its hearty western food dishes with large portions, particularly their Cajun Chicken and crinkle-cut fries sprinkled with a special spice mix. According to Wikipedia, there were as many as 11 Botak Jones outlets islandwide back in 2009.

The founder of Botak Jones has teased about the new outlet earlier this week, putting up a photo of the Botak Jones signboard fans are familiar with.
Despite Botak Jones keeping mum on the location and official opening date, some eagle-eyed netizens managed to sniff out the exact place which happens to be an eating house located along Depot Road.
Here’s a photo of the eating house situated at 118 Depot Lane.

Botak Jones has also uploaded photos of the dishes that will be coming back, including the all-time favourite Cajun Chilli Cheese Fries.
Fans are hoping the Stuffed Jalapenos will be coming back on the menu as well, a popular snack at Botak Jones that is made with Jalapenos stuffed with mozzarella cheese, coated in Japanese bread crumbs and deep-fried to perfection.
