Which Came First: The Chicken Or The Egg? 8 Egg-citing Dishes To Start Off 2017

Golden Fried Breaded Chicken and Hash Waffles with Apple Maple Sauce

While the debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first has perplexed philosophers and scientists, the question the foodie is more likely to be concerned with would be: which is more delish – the roasted chicken or the eggs benny? Starting this week, we’re recommending some of the best chicken and egg dishes across nine Wheelock Place eateries, so you know what to order to win prizes really worth, er, crowing about. In this instance, we can tell you which comes first – you enjoy the chicken (or egg), then you’re on way to becoming one of the 8 lucky winners (scroll down for details).

Just opened in early Jan, the outdoor all-day dining restaurant is well known for their wholesome Western favourites: think classics such as Eggs Benedict ($15) with smoked leg ham and house-made bacon, and a simple yet satisfying Lemon and Thyme Roasted Chicken with mushroom sauce (half-chicken, $18). But their Asian classics also pack a punch. The Singapore Traditional Chicken Curry ($16), made with bone-in chicken leg, waxy potatoes, tomatoes and coriander, is a satisfying bowl of rich flavours and unctuous textures. Served with steamed rice or baguette, it is a moreish one-dish meal that will make you belly happy. To complete your dining experience, order a specialty cocktail, take a seat in their breezy al fresco terrace, and just relax.

HOW EGG-CITING? Hearty flavours, daily happy hours from 5pm – 9pm, and a sidewalk frontage perfect for people-watching – it’s the place for post-supper drinks on Saturday and lazy Sunday brunches.

Wicked Kitchen

#02-19 TEL: 6684 0980

A casual restaurant serving an array of east-meets-west dishes, Wicked Kitchen’s extensive menu is indeed cruel temptation to the weight-watcher. One of the signature dishes here is the Sautéed Fresh Crabmeat and Egg with Beansprouts and Mint Leaves served with a Chilli Dip and Rice Paper Wraps ($18). Get hands-on and roll your own wraps. Each mouthful is a combination of bright flavours. Those with a big appetite will love the dish of juicy Golden Fried Breaded Chicken Sandwiched between Hash Waffles and served with an Apple Maple Sauce ($18). If you still have room for sweets, there are also plenty of inventive desserts to end your meal with.
