Chilli's @ Tanglin Mall

Chilli's has been around for eternity at Tanglin Mall's. And over lunch hour, it is almost empty without much crowd. Service was brisk and....who drinks at noon time? Apparently the crowd at Chilli's do.

The all too iconic, Chilli's.

All American diner vibes, from the bar counter to the counter seats and choice of tiles even.

Santa Fe Chicken Salad


Grilled chile-rubbed chicken breast, house-made pico de gallo, fresh diced avacado, chopped cillantro, crispy tortilla strips with house-made ranch dressing and a drizzle of spicy Santa Fe sauce.


In other words, a chicken salad with ranch dressing. The only pity about this dish is the usage of chicken ham than chicken breast.

Mix and Match Ribs Combo


I love having the best of both worlds so it's original and honey chipotle ribs together. I prefer the latter for the savoury and mild heat over the generally sweet original ribs. Those homestyle fries and sweet corn on the cob were excellent with the finger licking yummy ribs.


I love dining at American joints because the portions are equally Americanized. These fed 3 of us to the brim and I still had the guts to consider ordering another course. Chilli's like Swensens has a special place in my food memory bank and I would be back for one of those boogie nights.

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
