Tokyo 2020 Olympian and US rugby player Ilona Maher just landed in Singapore earlier this week and one of the first things she did was to head to a hawker centre to try one of Singapore's most iconic dishes, chicken rice.
Maher took to TikTok on Thursday(June 22) to share her experience at the Michelin-star Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice stall at Maxwell Food Centre.
Maher shared in her video that when she was about to order her food, the stall aunty looked at her physique and said: "Looking strong. You go to gym. I give you breast meat."
Happy that she was given breast meat, Maher said: "So ladies, that is why you got to lift because they would give you good chicken if you look like you work out."
Maher, touted as one of rugby's most exciting players, has well over one million followers on TikTok.
Her video, captioned "Looking strong equals to better chicken", was flooded with comments from her Singaporean fans delighted that she was trying out local food here.
