Attention, Global Travellers! The beloved Singapore icon, Chatterbox, is taking off to new heights with the launch of Chatterbox Express in the transit area of Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1. This exciting new concept brings authentic flavours of Singapore’s celebrated hawker cuisine right to your departure gate, offering a mouthwatering taste of local heritage exclusively for those on the move at one of the world’s busiest airports.
Chatterbox Express takes everything that made the original Chatterbox famous – its nostalgic flavours and heritage recipes – and packages it into a quick, convenient dining experience designed for the global traveller. Grab a taste of the historically renowned Chatterbox, having been around for the past five decades, pre or post flight.
Nestled in the transit hall at Changi Airport Terminal 1, travellers can savour local classics and favourites while on the go. The outlet boasts a sleek, modern design that reflects the energy of Changi’s bustling environment. With cosy seating, Chatterbox Express is the perfect pitstop for a taste of Singapore’s culinary gems.
Open daily from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM, Chatterbox Express serves up a curated selection of the brand’s signature dishes, led by the crowd favourite, Mandarin Chicken Rice – a dish that has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of Singaporeans and tourists alike since 1971. From the first bite of tender chicken to the fragrant spoonfuls of rice, this is a must-try, offered a la carte (from S$13.80) or as a set (from S$16.80). For a rich, comforting experience, the Singapore Curry Chicken comes with jasmine rice (S$11.50) or bread (S$13.00).
Early risers can enjoy local favourite breakfast delights such as the Kaya Butter Toast set complete with soft boiled eggs (S$7.50) or a bowl of Chicken & Egg Congee with crispy You Tiao (S$9.00), perfect for fueling up before a flight. Complete the meal with a Coconut Shake (S$6.80) to wash down the bold flavours and refresh the taste buds. Additionally, Chatterbox Express will be serving chilled bottled local drink favourites such as Calamansi & Sour Plum and Barley (S$3.50).
As a nod to the complex and diverse heritage cuisine that Singapore represents, which has always been the beckoning inspiration behind the Chatterbox brand, Chatterbox Express in collaboration with award-winning Chef Damian D’Silva of Rempapa will see his popular Heritage Kuehs in its menu. A big part of Southeast Asian cuisine, his divine bite-sized snacks or “kuehs”, typically homemade with 100% fresh coconut milk, will be sold in 2’s (dine-in) or boxes of 8 and 12 for gifting or takeaway purposes.
Every dish and drink is a celebration of Singapore’s rich food culture, making Chatterbox Express the ideal dining destination for travellers looking to savour a piece of the Lion City before they fly or once they return home. For the time-strapped traveller, Chatterbox Express is perfect for takeaways. Travellers looking for a nostalgic souvenir can now also bring home a slice of the Singapore food haven as that ultimate travel souvenir that not only satisfies the palate but also connects them to the heart and soul of our culture, offering a memorable culmination of the Singapore experience.
