Mention Hong Lim and chicken curry noodles, and most people would automatically think about Heng Kee and Ah Heng - Hainanese-style white poached chicken over thick beehoon in laksa broth.

Cantonese Delights in the same hawker centre however serves a vastly different type of chicken curry noodles. They serve a thick juicy slab of shattering crisp fried chicken over egg noodles drenched in a rich creamy curry full of spices.

Their chicken cutlet is without a doubt one of the best if not the best in town. You can taste the har cheong gai marinade in the sweet chicken juices and the skin remains crisp even after a while. I usually eat my fried chicken without gravy to avoid having a soggy skin but the lemak curry gravy really goes well with the fried chicken. The noodles are done excellent with only a slight hint of the alkaline taste which I really dislike.

They used to serve a mean laksa yong tau foo as well but seemed to have stopped doing so. Needless to say, the queues are horrendous. But this is well worth the queue and the wait!
