Yummy Adventures

Imagine this. When you’re in a desert, and you just walk, and walk, and finally find an oasis, with clear sparkling water – what do you do?

Sink your head in it and drown yourself in such luxury, then! Haha!

I didn’t mean to say that Singapore is devoid of such tasteful treats. Singapore, for a Filipino-Chinese like me, is a big, big feast. Hawker centers giving fresh, hot, and smokin` treats, and more upscale restaurant uncompromising anything, giving only the best, Singapore is a foodie’s dream, and you’d better believe me. Spicy food heaven, for those who love spicy food like me, as well!

But then, I begin to miss Filipino food, for I am, after all, Filipino! I miss sisig, kaldereta, sinigang, chicharong bulaklak, that in the midst of very very delicious Singaporean cuisine, I still look for it. So that’s my desert. And guess what – I’ve finally found the perfect oasis, and it’s in Lucky Plaza!

Hailed as Singapore’s most delicious chicken rice, who am I to resist?

With so much buzz, the good – being the best chicken rice ever, and the bad – being exhorbitantly pricey, it got me so curious to try out Chatterbox’s Chicken Rice to be able to have my very own opinion about it, as well.

Chatterbox is located on the 37th floor of the Meritus Mandarin Hotel, located in Orchard Road, just beside the Takashimaya Department Store in Ngee Ann City. The ambience is just about fabulous – red interiors, and a fantastic view of the city from the top. While I was dining here with friends, I was actually half talkative and half quiet – being reflective, and just in awe on how beautiful a country Singapore is.

Okay, focusing further on the chicken rice – well, chicken rice is everyone’s favorite food in Singapore. The first time I tried it, I think, in the foodcourt of Takashimaya, I wasn’t so awed, and was even questioning why people would love chicken rice as it was just something common to eat. But then, as I lived in Singapore for 5 months, I discovered that the more I eat chicken rice, the more delicious it registers in my taste buds, and I don’t get tired of eating chicken rice at all! The roasted, yet tender chicken, with such decadent chili sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger sauce, and very very fragrant rice, all I can say is that Singapore is chicken rice heaven, and this is what I will sorely miss when I go home to the Philippines for good.
