What makes a good chicken rice? Posted: 04 Nov 2011 05:23 PM PDT The star of the show... flavourful chicken! — Pictures by Eu Hooi Khaw We came away from the restaurant with a letdown feeling, and thought it was definitely not worth the stress of driving all the way there. The chicken and the rice were not exceptional. The rice here is nice and fragrant. The only thing I truly liked here were the super smooth chicken intestines; we had two plates of these! So Loke Yun was forgettable, but the next week we went to Tasty Chicken Rice in Kota Damansara. Now that put a different spin on things. The rice was fluffy, nice and fragrant. The chicken retained all its natural juices and flavour. The meat was smooth, the skin looked firm and the bite was right, without it tasting like it had been overboiled, and sitting too long in the water it had been cooked in. A must-have is the chicken liver and gizzard. My only grouse with this chicken rice is again the chilli sauce which didn't have the requisite punch and was too runny. Sour vegetables or kai choy cooked with chilli and assam keping, usually with leftover meat, is one of my favourites. It's a perky side dish, sour and hot enough. It doesn't quite go with chicken rice but it's nice to eat on its own. Sour vegetables... doesn't quite go with chicken rice but very yummy. I missed having the honey char siu, and I'm sure it's very good as it was all gone by the time we arrived. So do go there before the busy lunch hour, and you will get everything you want to eat. Tasty Chicken Rice is located at 22A-1, Jalan PJU 5/16, Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya (Tel: 012-555-5591). Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
