Staff of local restaurant Flaming chicken pot have been spotted wearing T-shirts with risque puns.

The restaurant revealed that they had researched and conceived these chicken puns in order to make their staff uniforms fun.

According to them, the shirts have been well-received by customers so far.

Four different chicken pun shirts

There are altogether four different chicken pun shirts that staff members wear.

This chicken pun, when directly translated from Chinese, says: "We aren't cows or horses, we are only chicken".

The phrase is a play on the Chinese saying about slogging as hard as cows and horses, and the fact that the restaurant serves only chicken dishes.

Another shirt says "吃我的大鸡鸡", which loosely translates to "eat my big chicken".

Singaporeans will be familiar with this chicken pun, as "chicken" in Chinese is pronounced as "ji", which literally translates to the shirt saying "ji-kopek", the Hokkien word for "pervert".

Finally, the team leader of Flaming Chicken Pot can be seen wearing a shirt that says "I am a chicken" in Chinese.

Very punny.

Two signature dishes

Other than punny chicken shirts, Flaming chicken pot specialises in serving two kinds of signature dishes: Black Pot and White Pot.

The Black Pot is served first as a dry-style claypot chicken, and is stir-fried with spices and a variety of vegetables. It is then set ablaze with Chinese wine:
