What do you get when you cross a chicken with a Tiger?

You get a drunken chicken. I suppose another way to cast the header above is to intro with...

A chicken walks into a bar and orders a Tiger.

Here's the chicken, while still sober:

Here's the Tiger:


So, we found out that there's this eatery called Chums whose specialty is "beer chicken" (yes, its beer of choice is Tiger). We were told to place an order in advance as it takes 30 minutes to prepare this item:


You can just see the can of Tiger peeking out. Another blogger who went to Blooie's at Faber Hills (that eatery has this item too) had a more, um, interesting pic:

We did find the dish excellent. What happens is that the chicken is marinated in herbs and slow-roasted with an opened can of beer "strategically inserted" (*okay, if you must know, another name for this dish is beer-butt-chicken; * very importantly, as they say, don't try this at home with an UNOPENED can of beer!).

Anyway, the result is a roast chicken that's crispy on the outside and deliciously moist on the inside, infused with the beer yet with no detectable trace of beer taste. The three of us (Lynn was with us) liked it very much.

I Googled and found out that someone has a recipe for beer chicken (it is called "beer can chicken" by this blogger):

We didn't complement our meal with a Tiger each. But I like this very creative ad below that's a pitch for, not for Tiger, but a men's body toning outfit:
