What is Hainanese Chicken Rice? Well, for those uninitiated, it is whole chicken that is boiled. The broth is then used to cook the rice. This infuses the rice with delicious chicken broth and the boiling of the chicken means that the meat is succulent, juicy, plump and soft. This is then served with dark soy sauce or ginger sauce (whatever you prefer) and chicken soup. The restaurant also offers this dish as a take-out, but eating it at the restaurant is better. The restaurant closely monitors the breeding of the chicken and chicken feed, to get the most plump and juicy chicken. You will not be disappointed and will most likely go back for more!

The Chatterbox has regularly won dining awards and according to the restaurant has served over 8 million Hainanese Chicken Rice sets since its establishment in 1971.

The restaurant is very popular with locals and visitors alike and can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, so book ahead to avoid disappointment,  on Tel. 6831-6288. The restaurant also serves a range of Western and Asian dishes, as well as other Singaporean favorites and has an extensive children’s menu. The milk shakes are popular among young and old! Opening hours are 05:00-01:00 (Sunday-Thursday) and 24-hours (Friday, Saturday and Public Holidays).
