Chatterbox's new cafe at Resorts World Sentosa offers lower prices for signature chicken rice and other dishes
It's located in Weave, a new lifestyle mall featuring brand-name eateries like macaron and pastry haven Pierre Hermé from France and bakery-cafe Standard Bread from Seoul. This particular Chatterbox is offering reduced prices on all its dishes vs the Orchard Road flagship, including the iconic Mandarin chicken rice, chilli crab and more.
There's also a smaller, more casual version of the brand called Chatterbox Express at Changi Airport Terminal 1.
At the new cafe in RWS, menu prices are generally S$2 to S$3 lower per dish compared to the OG Hilton outlet. This includes favourites like the lemak lobster laksa (S$36 at RWS vs S$38 at Hilton), umami seafood hokkien mee (S$24 at RWS vs S$26 at Hilton) and Chatterbox rojak (S$13 at RWS vs S$15 at Hilton).
FREE-FLOW OF RICE WITH EVERY ORDER OF MANDARIN CHICKEN RICE SET, S$23
Chatterbox has been serving its iconic Mandarin chicken rice since 1971, when it first opened at the former Mandarin Singapore, and now, Hilton Singapore Orchard.
At RWS' Weave, it costs S$23 (US$17.90) vs S$25 at the Hilton outlet. And here's the fun part – every chicken rice set comes with unlimited servings of fragrant rice, available for dine-in only from Jul 21 to Aug 3, 2025. For comparison, it costs S$3 per extra bowl of rice at the Hilton branch.
COMPLIMENTARY FREE-FLOW PERANAKAN KUEH FOR OPENING PERIOD
Even more fun, you get to enjoy free-flow Peranakan kueh here too – but only for a limited time. As part of Chatterbox's opening promotion from Jul 21 to Aug 3, all dine-in customers can snag unlimited servings of freshly made kueh at no extra charge. There are four kueh varieties: Sago bandung, sarang semut, kueh bengka and pulut bengka, all made in-house daily.
After the promo, the same selection will be available as a platter of eight (two per flavour) for S$13.
SEAFOOD FAVOURITES, SERVED SEASONALLY
More seafood-focused than its sister outlet, Chatterbox Cafe will be kicking things off this July with the chilli crab at S$168 for 1.2kg to 1.4 kg of Sri Lankan mud crab in a mildly spicy tomato-based sauce, typically served for three to share.
From September, the crab will also be available with seasonal sauces such as black pepper and golden fragrance 'kam heong'. The latter version features chillies, curry leaves and crispy dried shrimp.
PET-FRIENDLY SPACE
Unlike the original outlet, which seats 141, the RWS branch is a little cosier, with 75 seats indoors and a pet-friendly terrace that fits 16, so you can bring your furkids along.

Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan expresses concern at changing global trading system
Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan says the baseline 10 per cent tariff imposed by the US on Singapore is still a disappointment and a drag on economic growth. This is even though the situation is not as bad as it initially sounded. But beyond the numbers, Dr Balakrishnan says what is of concern is how the global trading system is changing. He was speaking at a dialogue organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs.

BlueSG needs time to develop software, refresh fleet, say ex-insiders after winding-down news
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The two-door electric cars that launched the BlueSG car-sharing service in 2017 are no longer in production. SINGAPORE – The need for a robust software to power the service and for better vehicles has been cited by former BlueSG insiders as two possible reasons behind the electric car-sharing service winding down operations on Aug 8 and relaunching in 2026. BlueSG said it was doing so to upgrade its platform, which includes enhanced technology and a refreshed fleet, to make the service more reliable and efficient. The software manages the vehicle fleet, works with the user database and handles payments. BlueSG switched to its current software in late 2023 from another one that was used before the car-sharing service was sold in 2021 to Goldbell, a Singapore-owned company known for commercial and industrial vehicle leasing. This was because the rights to use the previous software expired, Mr Ng Lee Kwang, a BlueSG board director between 2021 and 2023, told The Straits Times. The new software drew user complaints on issues such as car bookings and payments. Mr Franck Vitte, who founded BlueSG in 2017 and served as its managing director until October 2021, when it was sold, told ST on Aug 5 that the software needed by the car-sharing service is complex to develop and difficult to run reliably.

He also suspects that the developers may have realised that a thorough rework of the foundations, rather than patching fixes to the software, is needed to ensure that the system will operate smoothly. Even though there are ready-made, off-the-shelf software solutions, adapting them to the specific requirement of BlueSG will take a lot of work, Mr Vitte said. This includes handling Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges, parking fee payments and having access to the call centre from the smartphone app. The two-door electric cars that launched the BlueSG car-sharing service in 2017 are no longer in production and some of the replacement parts are difficult to source. Mr Ng said there is a need for newer electric cars that can be charged up faster and have longer operating range, so that the cars can be used more frequently to generate more revenue and boost profitability. This comes as BlueSG posted a net loss of $31.1 million between January 2023 and March 2024, based on its latest publicly available financial statements. This is more than two times the $11.4 million net loss the company incurred in the financial year ended December 2022, according to statements filed with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. The company attributed the losses to the heavy investments made over the years, which were part of its strategy to achieve its growth plans. It is a marked change of fortune for the firm, which had posted a $1.8 million profit in the financial year ended December 2021. BlueSG is Singapore's first electric-only car-sharing service. Its launch in 2017 was supported by the Land Transport Authority and the Economic Development Board. The car-sharing service has two types of electric vehicles in its fleet: a compact two-door hatchback, a specially built model for BlueSG that entered service in 2017, and the Opel Corsa-e, a larger, four-door hatchback, which was introduced in 2022. BlueSG's revenue leapt to $21.1 million in 2021, from $14.3 million in 2020. Revenue continued to rise steadily to $23 million for the 12 months ended December 2022, and to $24.6 million in the January 2023 to March 2024 period. No financial statement was filed for the 2023 financial year. Responding to ST's queries, BlueSG chief executive Keith Kee said the figures must be viewed in the context of the company's 'deliberate, front-loaded investment strategy'. He added that the company has invested about $70 million over the past years in building up BlueSG. 'We committed to scaling the business in a way that it would support long-term growth, and made a conscious decision to invest ahead of the curve, fully aware that it required upfront capital commitment,' said Mr Kee. In its 2021 announcement about its plans for BlueSG, Goldbell said it planned to invest more than $70 million over five years to grow the car-sharing service's fleet and back-end technologies to boost operational efficiencies and customer experience. Goldbell also aspired to take BlueSG to other cities in the Asia-Pacific. The car-sharing company said its relaunch in 2026 will see an upgraded platform, a refreshed car fleet and more locations for users to rent and return cars. The company is also laying off an undisclosed number of staff. The latest available financial statement, which is for the January 2023 to March 2024 period, showed that BlueSG's costs came to $40.3 million – 46 per cent more than the $27.6 million incurred in the January to December 2022 period. This was due to factors such as the cost of insurance, maintenance and storage of its electric vehicle fleet, which came up to a combined $9.3 million, 42.9 per cent more than 2022's figure of $6.5 million. BlueSG said it has a fleet of 'almost 1,000 electric vehicles' and more than 1,500 charging points. Since it was acquired by Goldbell, its subscriber base has grown from 140,000 to more than 250,000, but it declined to say how many users are active. BlueSG is unique among car-sharing services in Singapore because the hired car does not have to be returned to the same location from where the vehicle was rented out. Using the service involves signing up as a member and booking a car over a smartphone app. The app also unlocks and starts the car. The service is charged on a per-minute basis, instead of larger 30-minute or hourly blocks, which are more common.
