FOOD REVIEW: HotChic2 — Perhaps better, well-thought-out food would have made me feel more welcomed Nurzatiman SINGAPORE — HotChic2 joins the happy bevvy of restaurant openings in 2021; post-pandemic, optimism in their heart, and hope by the balls of their feet. I understand the ambition, but I can’t wrap my head around why HotChic2 chose the ungodly location of The Grandstand for a premiere outpost. Half my lunch here was spent discussing its clientele. Office workers? We’re in the middle of Bukit Timah, where work is a leisurely tea by the balcony. Families? On weekends, sure. But on weekdays? Honey, even the rich have to get an education.
