不相信在新加坡能用“泥土”烧烤叫化鸡，但当厨师捧着这道佳肴出来时，眼前看到的竟是用泥土包裹的叫化鸡。据厨师讲解，用的是经核准的进口专供制造陶瓷器的泥土。
边用锤子敲开泥团，边念出句句祝福的话，呈现在眼前的是以荷叶包的鸡只。用刀轻轻自鸡肚切开，肚内溢出的食材竟是各类菌菇类，栗子等。与一般鸡肚内塞中药材的“药材鸡”截然不同。
鸡胸肉一点都不涩，汤汁香甜又不稀释，足见火侯恰到好处。也看出厨师经验丰富，厨艺高超。
这不僅是一道富古早味的鸡肴，吃着各种菌菇类，也可成为一道健康佳肴。

| 古传叫化鸡 |
It is rare to find a restaurant that uses mud/clay to bake this dish, thus when the chef served this dish, I was pleasantly surprised to see mud being used. According to the chef, the mud is specially imported & approved by the authorities.
Words of blessings were being said as they hammered open the mud, revealing the chicken that was wrapped with lotus leaf. Once you peeled open the leaf and cut into the chicken, what's inside were all kinds of fungus, mushrooms & chestnuts etc. It's definitely different from the usual herbal chicken contents where various kinds of herbs are used to fill the chicken.
The chicken is very tender, especially the breast meat, while the soup is fragrant and tasty. This shows the skill of the chef in baking this dish to perfection.
I must say, this is not only a delicacy, but also a healthy dish.
