The BGAIN 463 Eating House coffeeshop at Blk 463 Sembawang Drive had recently gone through a revamp which had also seen a number of new tenants move into the coffeeshop after its relaunch. We got to learn about the opening of Hot Chick Co. in the said coffeeshop via social media — these folks had only moved into the coffeeshop subsequent to the revamp of the coffeeshop. Occupying only half the space of a typical stall unit within the coffeeshop, Hot Chick Co. can be found in the same spot in which was where the previous western cuisine stall used to be located — just look out for the stall with a bright red facade and signage there. Hot Chick Co. joins the bandwagon of stalls specialising in fried chicken offerings that seemed to have slowly sprouted up all across the island — the offerings at Hot Chick Co. being fried chicken that is served with rice or fries; the former being served with wings while the latter coming with different chicken parts (i.e. chicken thigh, chicken drumstick, chicken breast etc.). They also do serve a number of side dishes, while also offering Fried Shao Mai and Fried Bean Curd Roll on skewer as well.

Visiting Hot Chick Co. in the evening on a weekday for dinner, we went for the 2 Pcs Chicken Wing + Rice — this also does come with a serving of coleslaw on the side apart from two (2) pieces of fried chicken wings and butter rice. It is undeniable that the star of the show here would be the fried chicken wings — these does come served up just like the fried chicken wings that we are used to having from western cuisine stalls in the neighbourhood coffeeshop in the past. The chicken wings here are brined and seasoned before being deep-fried; the wings are fried till golden-brown perfection with a crisp exterior — the batter not being overly thick, whilst the meat has its juices locked in and is especially tender whilst flavourful. Both chicken wings are also did not feel particularly greasy, and there is definitely an old-school flavour here that really resonated with us. The butter rice also comes with a whiff of buttery fragrance without being particularly jelak not greasy, though we did wish that the rice does come a little warmer for more satisfaction. The accompanying coleslaw is served chilled just like the way it should; slightly milky to provide a creamy feel alongside with a refreshing crunch to refresh the tastebuds.
