One of those lovely and cooling evening when Nee suggested to have Singapore chicken rice for dinner. I cringed myself a little when I heard the suggestion but since she was the one paying strongly recommended it, thou crossed my finger and agreed to it. I mean, Singapore is famous for its chicken rice, but better than Malaysia’s?

We fdrove ourselves to Kepong and the shop is somewhere near Jusco Kepong, Metro Prima.

Shop interior is simple and nothing fancy. As we were early, there weren’t many customers and service was rather swift. One of the workers has this very weird and funny Cantonese ascent. They not only serve chicken rice, but also BBQ pork, roasted pork, fish balls and vegetables.

Herbal tea. The glass is also transparent black, hence, all black.

While the vegetables were still reasonably crunchy and nicely done, I reckon the dish was rather oily. Fish balls were bouncy and juicy. Most importantly, it didn’t taste weird or have the fishy smell.

The roasted pork tasted average as it didn’t have the crunchiness that all roasted pork skin should have. I also like my siew yuk to have this unique saltiness in it. Heh! As for the BBQ pork, I love it to the bits. It has the right texture, hard on the outside and soft on the inside, with slight sweetness in it. Not to mention, the slight burnt edges, yummy! Damn nice as its the kind of char siew I like.

How can we eat chicken rice without chicken, right?

While the meat wasn’t too stiff and still tender enough to qualify as a good steamed chicken, the whole plate of chicken were drowned in onion oil, sesame oil and soy sauce. The sauce may go very well with the rice but it practically overpowered and covered the natural flavour and juiciness of the chicken. It’s a double edged sword and I guess, its down to personal preference. We ordered half a chicken anyway, with me clearing most of them.

The bill came up to RM35+. Cheap? Expensive? I don’t know, as I think its still pretty reasonable.
