13th Dec ( Sun), tried Mr Chicken Rice at Ehub.. Mr Chicken Rice is actually operated by Mr Steven who used to be the chef of the famous Chatterbox at Mandarin Hotel for 31 years.. then he was retrenched by the hotel and in the end, he went to open a stall at downtown east food court.. ( I ate once when it was at the food court) .. ..his business must be good so he expanded it from a foodcourt stall into his own restaurant at Ehub...
Ok, I must say it tasted average.. what I like was the chilli, it was quite spicy and thick type, definitely not diluted with water.. the soup was also nice, with cabbage .. the rice and chicken were quite average I find.. I do like the fried tofu which was topped with a sweet & spicy thai sauce, the fried tofu was served hot and they were crispy on the outside...
I ordered breast meat and I was quite impressed that they removed the skin ( without me requesting for it). coz normally when I ordered breast meat, I will still be served with the chicken skin...
Mr Chicken Rice offers a few sets .. the normal set which consist of chicken and rice cost $4.20, while chicken, rice + 4 piece tofu cost $5.90, half a chicken $14, a few other side dishes that cost $3.30...
Frankly speaking, I have not try Chatterbox's chicken rice.. but if its the same standard as Mr Chicken Rice, I guess its not really worth it.. coz there is really nothing very outstanding about the chicken rice I ate at Mr Chicken Rice..
* Actually the big hawker centre just infront of Heartland Mall ( directly opposite Sakae Sushi) also has nice and cheap chicken rice that cost only $2.50..Its the blue signboard stall, their chicken rice serve on purple plates.. ( think it also has a few branches at different hawker centres)

Ya, Chatterbox's chicken rice the most expensive one in SG, but I have not eat there before. I find too expensive for a plate of chicken rice.
