There is currently an opening promotion of 50% off for the second dessert!

 
K1 Coconut Milk with Sago & Mango ($4 - 50% off, so it's currently $2): I really like coconut in my cold desserts and I'm glad to see so many coconut desserts available here! The coconut milk is not too thick but it's still within my acceptable range, not too diluted either. The numerous mango cubes are also sweet. It's quite value-for-money if you get it during its promotion period, I guess! smile I also like the sago balls, it's really quite nice to eat this combination. If they increase the thickness of the coconut milk, their quality can easily match up to Honeymoon Desserts.

 
H1 Ice Cream Jelly with Mango ($5): Quite an interesting match which I haven't seen anywhere else in mainstream HK dessert places in Singapore, the jelly is mango-flavoured and not the bouncy sort but a softer jello sort of texture. The mango sauce around it is also very sweet and doesn't taste synthetic. This is quite worth it! smile

 

 

 
Quite a small shop with three tables in total. There are only two staff (I think) - one counter staff and one kitchen staff. The place is still new so it's very very clean and neat! I foresee myself coming back for its milkshakes and smoothies since I live so near. It's just next to Gong Cha but I think this is wayyy healthier.

Chili's first joint opened in Dallas as a burger joint, and have been spicing things up since 1975. Way to go, Chili's!
It's VERY obvious in their decorations that they originated from somewhere along in the United States. Where exactly in the U.S? We didn't know until I research on it and found out that they started in Texas, which probably showed how their table layout (table is made up of tiles instead of the normal wooden table material) got inspired from. chopstick

 

Decorations

I love how detailed they are, even up to their lightings. When we first went in, the waitress didn't allow us to sit anywhere we wanted because of 'reservations', which apparently is another example of restaurant serving invisible guests. I'm getting sick and tired of restaurants who always have their tables RESERVED ONE OR TWO HOURS in advance, when their guests never arrived even after we finished eating. So she placed us right beside the kitchen, which had smells emitting from it and my dining partner (my mother) wasn't too pleased.

 
The open kitchen concept, to me, was a flop because it really made me feel very uncomfortable.

 
I love how they included the plastic bottle Heinz Ketchup rather than the usual glass bottle, which really changed the total feel of Chili's table dining presentation.

 
Menu

 

Salad Menu

Chili's had an extensive menu of items to choose from, including different variations of salad! This made us very pleased because we have a lot of options. They are also very detailed in describing each set of food, and the service crew was very helpful in explaining to us each dish.

 

Big Mouth Bites - $24.00

These four savoury mini fresh beef burgers is made with USDA choice ground steak. It is also topped with applewood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and Ranch dressing on sesame seed buns. The buns were not as tasty, but the focus is really on the meat! Served with crispy onion strings and jalapeño-ranch dressing, big mouth bites is really delicious and definitely a MUST-TRY!

Overview (crispy onion strings & jalapeño-ranch dressing)
This is a dish that can be shared by two medium-sized eaters, therefore its' quite worth it! smile

 
Country Fried Chicken - $19.00
This pork-tender battered chicken breast is served with traditional mashed potatoes and black pepper gravy. It is also served with corn on the cob and garlic toast, which I must place emphasis that the CFC is really my favourite. The chicken which was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender in the inside, gives me a verdict that it is the BEST CHICKEN I've ever eaten! The corn was really sweet and not too oily, and the mashed potatoes bathed in gravy sauce was a perfect combination to make me feel more full.

 
They were a little stingy on their black pepper gravy though, because it tasted SOOOOO DELICIOUS, it was peppery and salty, making the chicken moist and a whole lot tastier! lol

 
The potatoes were given in a right portion, sometimes certain restaurants give too much mashed potatoes or too little. Chili's do measure their portion for the asian appetite really well!

 
Topical Sunrise Margarita - $16.00
A tropical sunrise margarita is a beverage best taken in summer (which Singapore has all year round) because it is refreshing and cools you down! While the alcoholic content was quite strong, the sweet sourness of the drink amplifies the flavour of all the dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the refreshing drink kindly recommended by the waiter. Oh yes, you can share it with two or three people because the cup was as huge as my face, shocked ha-ha-ha.

If you are looking for a meal budgeted below $50, I'd recommend that you order all three items that I've ordered. I can't ask for more, they are a perfect combination to a happy, blissful evening with the family! As for the service, I'd give it a neutral rating because I was pleased by the waiter who served us but not the waitress who handled us in our seating... really quite arrogant in the way she provides her service to us. sad
