Chicken

Medium serving @ S$7.70

Flat. Yup, flatten chicken breast meat. I prefer fragrantly tasty chicken rice, rice. Unfortunately, the rice wasn’t packed with flavour unlike an old Boon Tong Kee stall at the old China Square food court (I don’t know where the uncle relocated his chicken rice stall, super sad).

Anyways, back to the chicken breast meat, it wasn’t mind blowing. The meat was quite ordinary maybe it was my fault to dowse it with black sauce and chilli. The chilli? I feel it could have more kick adding to the flavour notes of the chicken breast.

The soup? Very diluted. It didn’t taste like chicken soup.

Do we blame the poor quality of chicken rice to frozen chickens? Or is it something more systematic plaguing our local F&B industry that is grappling with a covid-19 recovery phase?

What do you think?

I was attracted by the number of Michelin Bib Gourmand awards on the wall so I thought the food must be good.

My order: the limited offer fried chicken rice at only S$6.50.

My verdict: my meal was more fried crispy skin than chicken meat. The rice was plain not the traditional tasty chicken rice (not sure if this was intentional). I won’t try this again but that’s me. To be fair I might try their traditional chicken rice set which is likely the reason for all their awards. Ah well, wasted tummy space.
