A & W Restaurant was the first fast food restaurant in Singapore, back in 1966. That was long before there were McDonald's, KFC and Burger King in Singapore. 'A & W' was named after its founders,  Allen and Wright. The first outlet was along Dunearn Road. Patrons to A & W enjoyed its root beer floats (served in a real glass mug!), curly fries, waffles and coney dogs. Unfortunately the last A & W restaurant in Singapore closed down in 2003.
