Chatterbox

Lunchtime affair with friends from office at Chatterbox. I've heard so much about the chicken rice at Chatterbox, always touted the best (and most expensive) chicken rice in town, and I have been dying to try it. Finally got here during a lunch and boy was it good! Many thanks to TT for bringing us here and for the awesome discount too :):) The chicken was really good, extremely tender and fresh, without the usual bloody bits found in other chicken rice places. The rice was fluffy and fragrant without being too oily. Together with the ginger, chilli and dark sauce, this meal was perfect! 

But truth be told, the price is too steep for me and I am unlikely to spend that much money eating chicken rice at that price even though it was so good. So... I guess the next time I come would be tagging along with TT HAHA. Oh man, I am such a cheaponana sigh.


Update: So I did tag along with TT for another delicious lunch at Chatterbox! Had the Lobster Laksa Noodles this time which was really good too. The laksa sauce was so thick, tasty and fragrant, and went so well with the juicy chunks of fresh lobster. But this was also another dish which was too steep for me at the original price hahaha. 


Ended the perfect lunch with a delicious coconut ice cream. Coconut ice cream paired with sweet coconut flesh, nuts, lychee and a slice of chocolate was just the best way to end our wonderful lunch. YAY TO TT!

Blanco Court Fish Soup and Maison Ikkoku

Lunch time with a friend from office many moons ago at the Blanco Court Fish Soup in Luk Yu Eating House. The queue was amazing! I didn't know there was such a popular fish soup stall along Beach Road until that day. The queue was worth it. Thick slices of fresh fish lightly fried in a crispy batter, delicious fried egg and a milky soup base. Now I know why there is a long queue for the fish soup! Coffee time at Maison Ikkoku. Good cup of flat white to beat the food coma after the yummy fish soup. Always a nice lunch chatting with a good friend about random funny stuff and serious stuff and all sorts of things in life.
