Mr Chung's birthday celebration part 1 (Chili's at JCUBE)

My man, Mr Chung, turned 23 on 27th February. Yes, he's younger than me, but only by 6 months! I always tell people that when he was born, I was 6 months old and knew nothing but to sleep, eat and shit so technically we are the same age lah. 

But yes, he's 23 years old and this year we went to 2 new places to celebrate! We went to Chili's last Wednesday and this coming Sunday, we are going to 4 & A Half Gourmands


The story as to why we ended up going to Chili's is quite hilarious, now that I think of it. We originally planned to go to The Manhattan Fish Market at JCube. We reached the restaurant and was waiting in line to get seated. We were the only ones queueing and there were empty seats everywhere, however NOBODY served us. The girl at the counter definitely saw us, and she and I also had a brief eye contact. We said "excuse me" for umpteen times and still no one bothered to serve us. EXCUSE ME AH The Manhattan Fish Market, we are paying for service charge okay?! Kengyang got pissed off with the non-existent service so we changed our plans and went to Chili's instead. 

WHICH PROVED TO BE AN APPROPRIATE MOVE!

Yes, Chili's may charge higher prices, but the food is good, the service is excellent and the staff members are extremely attentive. It's definitely a place I will highly highly recommend to everyone! 

Some examples of the excellent service that we enjoyed:
  1. Chili's was quite packed on the day we went, but once we appeared at the store front, a staff member immediately acknowledged our presence and told us very nicely and apologetically to sit at the waiting area first. 
  2. The staff that took our order was really amazing too! He listened to our special orders and even though I was quite picky, he smiled all the way through. 
  3. The food took quite some time to arrive, so this particular staff kept coming back to our table to apologise for the delay. 
  4. We ordered three items, and kengyang's order came later than the others. When the first two orders arrived, the staff remembered that we had three orders and she very nicely told us that she would go and check whether the third one was ready or not. ATTENTIVE. 
Basically, it was amazing service at Chili's

The food was beyond delicious also. Servings are humongous and even their mashed potato was done beautifully. 


Country Fried Chicken - Too good. Mashed potato and garlic bread were stellar! 

Wings over buffalo (or simple Buffalo Wings lah) - my favourite buffalo wings to date. Tangy sauce and the chickens were still crispy! 

Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers - Another amazing dish. The corn was so juicy!! 

JUST GO AND EAT THERE PLEASE, JUST GO. However, go with an empty stomach because servings are HUGE!! :)

The Chili's that we went to was at JCube and here's the address:
2 Jurong East Central 1, #03-10 JCube
