Chatterbox

Chatterbox’s world-famous plate has got over 50 years of history to flex. And after several waves of refurbishment since 1971, the institution now calls the five-star Hilton Singapore Orchard its home. The bright and airy dining room flanked with verdant views of the outdoor garden now welcomes guests, who all come here to revel in the Mandarin chicken rice (from $25). Each time-tested plate is executive chef Liew Tian Heong’s canvas for soul-comforting perfection: porcelain-like poached chickens drizzled over with an irresistible essence; marvellously-oiled aged jasmine chicken rice; and the exceptional condiments of dark soy, garlic-infused chilli and grated ginger dip to tango.
