Geylang Bahru Chicken Rice Stall Displays Rubber Poultry Instead Of Edible Ones
Chicken rice stalls with roasted and steamed poultry hanging on display racks are a common sight in Singapore. However, someone noticed something a tad different about this stall in Geylang Bahru.
If the bright yellow bobs made you do a double take, don’t worry. We did too.
Those aren’t discoloured chicken, but actually rubber ones, infamously known for making hilarious noises when they’re squeezed.
Geylang Bahru chicken rice stall widely known for hilarious display
A netizen shared the photo of 聚兴 Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice’s amusing display in the Heritage Singapore Food Facebook group on Sunday (7 Feb).
The post sparked others to share their own snapshots, indicating that the display may not have been temporary.
Here’s one with the mini spotlights off, making the chickens look like the famous “The Scream” painting by Edvard Munch.
Rubber chicken actually internationally famous
While the stall’s display has garnered much attention, the rubber chickens have been inducing laughter long before, and in various countries all over the world.
A police academy in the United States (US) ingeniously named one Cluck Norris, and used it to test cadets’ focus.
Elsewhere, a driver put the chickens’ shrill honks to good use as a car ‘sensor’, to alert nearby vehicles if they get too close.
But none have been quite as apt as this Geylang Bahru chicken rice stall’s adaptation.
Netizens amused by faux chicken display
Apparently, the stall’s hilarious display isn’t its only draw. According to netizens, 聚兴 Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice serves up a mean plate of chicken rice.
This netizen commented that he thoroughly enjoyed his meal at this stall — and the staff were friendly to boot.
This lady made a comment in jest that the stall had a very appropriate name, considering the squishy rubber chickens.
Clearly a joke based off the rubber chickens, this user’s “review” of the stall’s chicken rice seems accurate enough.
