I must admit I was still surprised when I saw the prices on the menu, despite knowing the fact that it was set in a hotel. Nearly every main dish on the menu cost $25, and that is exclusive of GST and service charge. However, I must say that service was prompt, and of hotel standards. They were happy, smiling and willing to greet you when you come in to chatterbox, and they seated us at a corner of the restaurant. We ordered a chicken rice and a king prawn hokkien mee as their chicken rice was
However, I must say that service was prompt, and of hotel standards. They were happy, smiling and willing to greet you when you come in to chatterbox, and they seated us at a corner of the restaurant. We ordered a chicken rice and a king prawn hokkien mee as their chicken rice was their signature dish.
Ice water was served in a nice glass, and the ambience... I must say was quite good. Chicken rice came quite promptly, with the different sauces at the side, such as the chilli, the garlic etc. The rice and the chicken was also served in separate dishes. I tried the chicken, but I must admit that I was never a lover of white chicken meat. However, my friend found it really delicious, and enjoyed it very much.
The next dish was hokkien mee. I was expecting it to be a little different, and I guess it was, with 2 king prawns, and one big piece of scallop found in it. I was expecting the taste to surpass the hawker center's one, but to my disappointment, it was not very tasty for the price you are paying.
The bill came up to about $52, with 10% discount from OCBC card. I must say that there are better choices in other places if you want local delicacies, and there is no need to go to Chatterbox for that.
