Chickens Literally Fried Till It's Fried 😂
Date of visit: 22 Dec 2018, Sat (12pm)
Dish ordered:
- 2 pieces of fried chicken wings
- 1 piece Taiwanese sausage (Wanted to try luncheon meat, but they didn't have :/)
- 1 plate of beehoon
Rating: 8/10
Reasons:
1) Beehoon is springy and soft, though I wish that more soy sauce is added.
2) Although the chicken wing meat is somewhat bland, the 'just right' crispness, juice retained in the meat and the aroma are fundamental characteristics in making a nearly perfect fried chicken wing! No wonder our Prime Minister (Lee Hsien Loong) made Yon Yan in the headlines when he queued for its famous fried chicken wings at its former Redhill outlet in 2014.
Bonus: Between Yon Yan and Eng Kee, I actually prefer Yon Yan because even though Eng Kee's and Yon Yan's chicken share similar characteristics, what makes Yon Yan better is that the owner is able to ensure the chicken wings are not slightly overcooked which is what I prefer. But still, Eng Kee's chicken are good as well :)

Ordered:
- 4pcs fried chicken wings
- Beehoon and kway teow mee
Rating: 7/10
Reasons:
1) Good chicken wings! Although on the verge of being overcooked, the owners still deliver quality chicken wings with its crispy skin and pipping hot juicy oil which nearly burned my mouth haha. The aroma is also present once it leaves the kitchen, another plus point. But be warned that you will have to wait for about 30 mins and it sells out at around the time when custoners join the queue at 6.30pm, so be there early! 👍
2) Go for the beehoon instead of the kway teow mee closer to evening, because the kway teow mee seems to have turned somewhat hard by the time I consume it. Beehoon on the otherhand is springy and soft, which is to my likings. Amount of soy sauce added was just alright :)
