Advertised as a “Must Try” dish thanks to Mediacorp Channel 5’s Buzzing Hawkers, this S$7.30 dish from Belirub (#01-12) was an interesting find from a quiet hawker centre. The place draws quite a fair bit of lunch crowd from the vicinity, but a 20-minute wait (with 3 other sets of customers before me) became a little questionable.

I thought the dish was quite rich in its flavours, with turmeric coleslaw and baby potato salad by the side and some sauce lining the dish so that the crispy-skin grilled chicken thigh was placed on top. For a moment, I was not sure if the meat should be smaller than the amount of coleslaw given, but given that the marination was on the salty side, this proportion seemed to make sense, just that the economical aspect of it didn’t, considering that this came from a hawker centre where patrons come for sustenance more than appreciation.
