Chatterbox @ Mandarin Hotel

Went for the famous $25 dollars chicken rice at Mandarin.

As Mandarin Hotel was going through a revamp, Chatterbox was moved to the Observatory Lounge at the 38th floor...


Sauces - dark sauce, chilli sauce and ginger sauce. All three sauces are great!

Soup

Rice - There's free flow of rice

Chicken - one can choose to have thigh or drumstick

Laksa - There's 3 huge prawns and scallops in this dish.

My Ramblings...

Used to patronize Mandarin Hotel since young.

Although their chicken rice and laksa are the most expensive in Singapore (hawker price would be approximately $5 dollars), the quality of the food is very good.

For the chicken rice, the chicken is succulent and the rice is not oily.
As for the laksa, the ingredients used makes the price worth it.

My Ramblings...

Was disappointed with the spread. Heard lots of raves regarding how hard it is to try everything in one sitting. I managed to try all the varieties in 1 sitting.

Rated the quality to be 4 as the quality of the desserts was pretty good although the Boston Lobster was overcooked and tough.
