For those whom have been following us for a while, the mention of an establishment named No Original Chicken might ring some bells — whilst we had previously visited No Original Chicken at Beo Crescent Food Centre, they had first started (and are still in operation) at PSA Complex. Their Beo Crescent location has since been shuttered; that being said, they seemed to have found new digs at Redhill Food Centre. The menu available at No Original Chicken at its Redhill Food Centre location does differ a little from what is being served up at their PSA Complex outlet — rather than serving up Grilled Chicken Set (also previously served up at Beo Crescent Food Centre) and Fried Chicken Meal, their Redhill Food Centre outlet only focuses on Curry Chicken offerings that were also previously served at Beo Crescent Food Centre. Patrons do get a choice of two curry options; a tomato based curry and a herb based curry, while on would go for the set which sees the curry coming with chicken, potatoes and a type of carb that patrons would be able to choose from.

It is noted that Sets 1 to 3 would be for their herb based curry, while Sets 4 to 7 comes with their tomato based curry — our choice of Set 6 also meant that the tomato based curry would come with 1x chicken drum / thigh, 1x potato and 1x Briyani Rice. Based on the description provided in the menu, the tomato based curry features elements such as slow-cooked tomatoes, tamarinds and roasted chilies. Going for the tomato based curry, we did like how the curry does feel lighter here and generally seemed to be more focused on the spices being used rather than the richness of the curry itself — the result is a less jelak curry that isn’t too heavy from the use of coconut milk and had an emphasis especially on the slow-cooked tomatoes bringing a tang and roasted chilies that gives a kick of spiciness that should do just fine for those whom are tolerable to lower levels of spiciness. The chicken drumstick does come tender, having seemingly been slow-cooked in the curry whilst the potatoes were also stewed to a soft texture. The Briyani Rice does come with a side of Nonya-style Achar; the rice being light and fluffy whilst carrying a hint of fragrance from the use of saffron and other spices that matched well with the tomato based curry, while the Nonya Achar gives a refreshing bright and tangy crunch that helps to reset the tastebuds.
