Victor Famous Fried Chicken Wing Rice & Hainanese Chicken Rice 638 Veerasamy Rd #01-101, Yi He Eating House (Map) 11.30am – 6pm Mon
This is reminiscent of the old popular Corona fried chicken rice in the defunct Colombo Court. The line forms even before they open. Once it does, a stack of fried chicken is placed by the chopping board and its non-stop chop till they sell out. The seasoned batter is crispy crunchy, softly gummy, yet light and the chicken is moist n juicy. The chicken flavoured rice is comforting and does not distract from the star item. Many order and extra chicken wing over the rice. The lime chilli contains the fried wings very well.
Wang Lao Wu Chicken Rice Blk 4A Jalan Batu #01-28, Jalan Batu Hawker Ctr (Map) 8am – 10pm Daily
It is amazing how these folks still offer chicken rice at $2; they bear in mind the poorer folks living around the area. This version is very old fashioned and heartland style in its ways. You won't find fat gelatine oozing out of the chicken pieces and they use a lean fowl as the folks that eat this regularly would appreciate it. The chicken is soft and they specialise in the "roasted" (deep fried actually) version. The rice is not oily and has a pleasantly rich aroma of chicken stock. The chilli sauce come blended with ginger and they rightly use the thick caramel soy sauce. Their soup has touches of wolfberries and a faint, wistful flavours of herbs like dang gui- which lend a very pleasant sweetness to it.
