Came across Chop Chop (#02-67/68 International Plaza, 10 Anson Road, tel : +65 8770 3533) recently. The shop's located close to the escalator in the middle of the building. Food could be considered Thai and the menu offers a curated and straightforward combination of starch and proteins with options for sides.
This was the chicken with turmeric rice. $4.50 for the basic configuration which was just that - chicken and rice. Topping up a few dollars ($7.50 ☝🏼) gets additional two sides and a drink. Got myself some buttery broccoli/cauliflower called California Mix (🤔) and a mushroom egg thingy.
Chicken was thigh meat with a flavouring that tasted like a soy glaze/marinate that was savoury and a little sweet. Rice has turmeric flavouring and little else I could discern. The plate got a lot better once the tub of their nam jim has been drizzled over. Layered an umami hit of garlicky sweet, salty and lime with just a bit of coriander (which I didn't mind) that bumped both the rice and chicken up by a considerable notch. 👍🏼
There's sea bass with jade noodles. Noodles had garlic bits and fish came with a sweet sauce which like kecup manis. That nam jim worked on this too.
Lemon tea's not bad. Didn't taste like the regular variety. Something about the citrus in there that's different.
