Chatterbox’s delicious offerings stay true to the roots of local food delights. It’s most famous for the Hainanese chicken rice, prepared Singapore-style. While the price is slightly on the more expensive side, considerin­g the many options you have in Singapore for this dish, it’s worth the splurge thanks to the generous strips of steamed chicken paired with fragrant rice and a bowl of chicken consommé. Don’t forget to elevate the meal with accompanim­ents of sweet dark soy sauce, crushed ginger and the traditiona­l chilli. Dining with friends from overseas? This is the perfect spot to savour other Singaporea­n favourites including lobster laksa (brimming with fish cake, fish meat rolls and lobster in spicy broth) and abalone kolo mee; for the latter, the chef uses flat egg noodles, which he generously tops with a meat sauce and two whole braised abalones. Coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell and doused with chocolate sauce and walnuts—a twist on the classic 1970s dessert— makes for a refreshing ending.
