Choo Choo Chicken

Korean Fried chicken, here I come. 

At choo choo chicken, everyone comes for their delicious fried chicken. There is the original version and also those coated with sauce. 

The lunch special set, has four piece chicken and also comes with C.C. rice. 

The chicken is mildly spicy eventhough I choose the spicy set. But the chicken is tender and also very well marinated.

I was initially only looking forward to tasting the fried chicken and was very pleasantly surprise by the CC rice. It so delicious that it is addictive, I can't stop eating the rice and I manage to finish every single grain of the chewy rice pair perfectly with the crispy seaweed. 

This is the best combination of Korean fried chicken that I had. 

As other places usually comes with plain rice (which I would rather skip) or you will have to purely just munch on the chicken. 

Therefore I highly recommend the CC rice. 

The CC rice also comes in a variety of flavor, in the Al carte menu., with Tuna or  Spam  with kimchi.  

I tried the CC rich with tuna and kimchi.

and again the entire plate was wipe clean. 

 Al Carte menu

Their Lunch set is available daily from 11.30am till 3 pm, it is really value for money, with each set costing less that $10.  

Similar to other Korean restaurant in Singapore, Choo Choo chicken has plays Korean TV program which serve as a background music. Something to note  is that the place is really small compared to other restaurant in Singapore, there are only two rows of tables and a total of seven table in the entire restaurant. Privacy can be an issue for those looking to discuss personal issue as all the patrons of the restaurant are in close proximity due to the confine space.

If you are shopping at Haji land or is hanging around Bugis area, remember to drop by Choo Choo chicken for lunch.

Riders Cafe , The Best place for Brunch in Town

                                             

There is truly no better place to enjoy brunch on a lazy Sunday morning than Riders Cafe , located within Bukit Timah Saddle club. The lush greenery seem almost like a luxury to the city folk like me who face the computer and the concrete building seemingly all the time. 

Riders cafe not only provide a delicious meal but also a great getaway. Walking towards the entrance of the cafe, you will most likely encounter horses waiting to enter the stable. 


                              

One side of the Cafe overlooks the stable where the horses are being pampered after a hard day's work. This place allows for the mind to be relax and enjoy the company and the food that is in front of you. 

It is really crowded on the weekends, and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table for two ( we reached at around 10am). There is always a queue of people waiting to get a table.  
Therefore it is strongly encourage that you make a reservation at least one day before heading down. 

As compared to the other cafe serving brunch, Riders cafe offers a more limited selection. But nevertheless the food is Yummy. 

We order the Blackstone Benedict : with Bacon, Tomatoes, Poached Eggs and Hollandaise on Sourdough Bread.

This is one of the most popular item on the menu. 

The poached eggs are cooked to perfection and goes well with the hollandaise sauce and the sourdough bread.

The Usual : With 2 eggs (you can choose the cooking method), back bacon, breakfast banger, mushroom, Tomato and sourdough bread.

For those with a bigger appetite, as it comes with breakfast banger (pork sausage) and mushroom. The mushroom is well-seasoned but the breakfast banger is sightly hard and difficult to chew.

Beside the usual brunch menu, I also ordered the Devil's cake. It's chocolate cake covered with fudge served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Sounds sinful already.

The cake taste very rich on its own, luckily the vanilla ice cream was able to mellow the richness of the cake. It would be good if the fudge is serve on the side so that the level of sweetness and richness of the cake can be adjusted. 

The serving size is slightly on the smaller side for the price that you are paying for. But if you consider the ambiance and the view of the place it is still quite value for money.
