"Chicken Rice Chronicles? What the heck is that?"
If you're not sure what we're talking about, you might wanna read THIS first...
And this time we are at another reader-recommended Chicken Rice joint in the East this time!
Chicken Rice (4.50) |
And since it's nearby for us, we decided to drop by after some shopping!
Maybe I'm just being fussy but I feel that the guy who cut up my chicken was lazy.
You may not be able to see it in the picture but there was still some parts of the chicken which I guess I don't normally get when I have Chicken Rice at other places. I'm talking about small things like the excess gristle etc.
I guess overall the chicken was quite tender but not as tender as some other places. I am basing this on a Roasted Chicken standard of course. Wasn't too fantastic taste-wise either.
Found the rice a tad dry. You can see from that picture how dry it is.
Not too bad when you eat it all at one go withe the chicken and the chilli though. Add some soup if you must!
Despite all that, I think I was most disappointed with the chilli.
If the chilli is goof, I think I could have been more forgiving with the chicken and the rice.
It was watery and I wasn't really enjoying it very much.
I'm a bit fan of the type of chilli which has quite a bit of vinegar in it but even that could not redeem this one. It does have a bit of a spicy kick to it which might be why some people like it I guess.
Adam's Verdict:
Chicken Rice 1.5/5
Unfortunately this was not the best of the series so fare...
Why oh why do the nice Chicken Rice joints always seem to be so far away!!
Oh well, maybe we'll have more luck next time.

Hi, you should try chicken rice at Hana Ayer Rajah. Me and hubby will ask for additional rice EACH, because the rice itself is fragrant and so sedap! yums!

Do try the chix rice at Sinar Harapan Chinese Muslim food stall at Jurong West St 51! Me and family have been eating there for years... and I find the chicken rice there even better than Mackenzie Rex!! :) Their home made wantons are awesome too.. both the fried and boiled versions.
