Lao Wang Chicken Rice (Chinatown Complex)

A new stall just opened recently at Chinatown Market, serving chicken rice for only $2 or $3.

I am intrigued when I see people packing away ( a lot of packets of ) food from stalls that look so ordinary - no posters , no public acclamations, no Michelin.

It is almost like you can walk pass and completely miss the existence of the stall. But I was Glad that I exercised some patience this time round to investigate .

This was probably the best chicken rice I have eaten in quite a Long Long time . Disappointed by rice that is either Too mushy , too greasy , too hard or completely tasteless - chicken rice is my " to not eat list" because the costs ( calorie costs) are too high.

The chicken rice from Lau Wang is so fragrant ( with a good hint of ginger and garlic aroma) and so well cooked ( neither Too hard or too soft). Each grain of rice was well represented . Even though I had the rice packed, the rice still tasted so fresh and had a firm bite.

The chicken was moist and had a good bite ( talking about breast meat being moist and tasty - you definitely need some skills boy !)

The Chilli had a good fiery spicy kick and the consistency and taste was well balanced . It was just so aromatic .

I wished I had eaten the chicken rice there and then and had given my heartiest congratulations to the stall owners for such a labour of love.

It's is definitely not easy to do all the 3 elements well - rice , chicken , Chilli .

The plus point is that the stall is so clean and well kept that you know you can eat with a peace of mind.
