Chatterbox

Today is my first day in Singapore, and this meal was honestly delicious. I ordered the Premium Set Meal, which came with a nice variety of dishes. I really loved the scallops, and the main course — Mandarin chicken rice — was amazing. There were three different dipping sauces, and I tried them all, haha! The dessert was also very good. Overall, I’d say it was great value for money and absolutely delicious.

The chicken is cooked really well as it is moist and very tender! The chicken rice is also fragrant and not too oily. 1 thing that’s different is that the chicken rice here do not have the soy drizzle that we normally get on a chicken rice at the hawker that makes it saltier. I do find the dish to be a little bland and I have to reach for the dark soy sauce quite a bit. The Laksa is delicious as well and priced reasonably but from the taste perspective, I feel that you can get it anywhere and there’s nothing special about it. I think my favourite has to be the chicken satay, it has its own distinct aroma that regular satay doesn’t have. If I were to go back here, I will definitely have the satay again. Overall, it’s a nice place for family bonding. The environment is also comfortable and the waitress and waiters are exceptionally attentive.

5/5 stars for Chatterbox at Hilton Orchard Singapore! My dining experience was truly exceptional. I opted for the premium set meal and it was the perfect way to enjoy their elevated local cuisine. Every course, particularly the local dishes, was magnificent. I was so impressed not only with the authentic flavour but also the impeccable presentation, each plate was a work of art. The cooking execution was flawless; everything was perfectly tender and seasoned. The accompanying red wine pairing was thoughtfully selected and complemented the rich flavors of the food beautifully. Chatterbox successfully elevates Singaporean favorites into a luxurious culinary journey. Highly recommended for a special occasion!

Food is tasty but expensive even for restaurant setting. Lobster laksa gravy is creamy. It is served in a huge bowl but mostly noodles. Lobster is ice cold. Rojak is on the sweet side and rather watery. Chendol lacks gula Melaka fragrance. Chendol jelly is a bit rubbery. Staff is polite but needs more training. Asked for menu to look at dessert selection but was given the check. We had not even finished our mains. Overall, a decent meal if you’re looking for local cuisine along Orchard in a quaintly decorated restaurant. A nice place to bring visitors. Reservations recommended as they are busy on a weeknight.

We ordered the premium set to try the chicken rice and laksa together. The chicken was quite nice — tender and flavorful. However, the laksa was too salty, which was a bit disappointing. Thankfully, the dessert made up for it! The panda cake was absolutely lovely, and I’d highly recommend pairing it with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of Gula Melaka — that combination would be perfect. Overall, a mixed experience, but definitely worth a visit for the sweets.

We decided to have a special lunch as we hit the shops after a long working week. We were lucky enough to be able to walk in but suggest that you book if you don't want to be disappointed and especially if your a family or group. They have several table types and areas making tables such as ours quite private and really good. Service was swify but not too rushed and the staff were most pleasant and helpful. The whole place is stylish and certainly has it's own pleasing character. A really enjoyable place to go with amazing foot and we left feeling not only satisfying our taste buds but also rejuvenated and relaxed.

This is a lovely restaurant with a harmonious ambiance and classic decor. The atmosphere is calm and refined, making it a comfortable spot for a relaxing meal. The staff are kind and attentive, providing helpful service throughout. We ordered the Rojak, Lobster Laksa, Chicken Rice Set, Coconut Ice Cream, and two cocktails. The Rojak was fantastic — easily one of the highlights of the meal. All the fruits used were fresh and of high quality. The sauce was flavourful but not overpowering, allowing the freshness of the fruits to come through. It was both delicious and appetite-whetting. The peanuts were freshly roasted, crunchy, and added a strong nutty aroma. The Lobster Laksa was also impressive. The broth was flavourful without being too oily or salty. The lobster itself was fresh and tender, adding a rich, oceanic note to the dish. All the ingredients were well balanced and complemented each other beautifully. The Chicken Rice was decent. The chicken meat wasn’t as soft and juicy as the best we've had, but it was still properly cooked — not dry or chewy, and most importantly, it didn’t have any unpleasant smell or aftertaste. The sauces served on the side were fairly standard, not particularly memorable. The accompanying soup wasn’t a typical chicken broth — more of a light and refreshing type, which helped cut through the richness of the meal. The rice was very well done: fluffy, fragrant, and flavourful. The Coconut Ice Cream was another highlight. Presented in a coconut shell with two scoops of ice cream, chocolate bits, and walnut toppings — the dessert looked great and tasted even better. The ice cream had a strong coconut flavour, enhanced by the coconut flakes that added great texture. The chocolate mixed in brought depth to the flavour and balanced the sweetness nicely. It was creative, layered, and delicious. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. I would definitely love to come back and try more dishes from their menu.

It was a busy lunch hour and we didn’t have a reservation, but the staff were accommodating enough to seat at us at the bar. We got their famous chicken rice, bak kut teh, and salted egg chicken wings — everything was delicious and well portioned. This isn’t my first time in this branch and it won’t be the last, always enjoy the dining experience because of the great staff, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent food. Definitely recommend this place to everyone looking for legendary (and worth it) local dishes! A must-visit for visitors to Singapore.
