After my first trip to Da Po Hainanese Chicken Rice & Curry Chicken Noodle 大坡海南鸡饭-咖哩鸡面, I like the Curry Chicken Noodles so much that I made several trips back just for it. You can read more about their Curry Chicken Noodles here. Since I have done an introduction of this stall in the earlier post, I shall skip the introduction.
During this recent visit, I decided to try their Hainanese Chicken Rice.
The lady (auntie) was quite chatty (in a good way). Still a very down to earth and humble lady who try to make small talk to customers in the queue and also thank them for patronising. She certainly did not have to do this considering how busy she was. Kudos to her for her cheerfulness and spreading the joy to everyone through her service and the food.

This time there was a queue of about 5 person. Not too bad. As I sat at a table within sight of the stall, I noticed a constant queue throughout lunch time. (Good for them)

As usual, greedy me decided to ordered their most expensive ($4.50) Hainanese Chicken Rice. It came with rice, chicken on a separate plate and a bowl of soup.

The rice was soft, warm and fluffy. However, it was a tad too bland and lacked the flavour and fragrant that is required of a good plate of chicken rice.

The chicken was de-boned and served on a plate drizzled with soy sauce (and most probably sesame oil) and slices of fresh tomato. They gave a generous amount of chicken. There was a layer jelly under the skin (this normally occurs when the chicken is dunked into ice water after cooking to chill it to ensure that the chicken will not be overcooked and firm up the skin and fresh. A process called shocking). The chicken was so soft, tender, juicy and flavourful. Simply irresistible. A winner on its own.

Beansprouts was added into the soup. Perfect for me as I like beansprouts and it was still crunchy (not overcooked).
Although I was not impressed with the rice, the chicken was simply too good. I can go back everyday just for the chicken. If you are here for the first time, I strongly recommend you to try the Curry Chicken Noodles and if you have more space for more food, try their Chicken Rice too. What a waste I am not working nearby, I need my Curry Chicken Noodles fix!

I can get greedy too when eating out. My other half will be signalling asking me to control myself. I actually prefer the steamed version rather than the roasted, the texture is somehow more tender and juicy.
ReplyDeletehaha, for me its the other way round. I always order too much.
DeleteIf u want really good rice, like the good-enough-to-eat-on-its-own-without-the-chicken type, go across the road to Thien Kee. My brothers have actually polished off 2 bowls each of the rice, even before the rest of the food arrives. They really have the most flavoursome rice ever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation. I heard its at golden mile tower. Have heard about this, but never try it before.
DeleteRice is fantastic, but chicken so-so only. Try the pork chop also...it's Hainanese style and one of the best ard. Of course, don't miss out on their steamboat.
DeleteHi
Deletethanks, will try it one day! =)
You seem to enjoy going to Golden Mile for food. Must be filled with good food. Do you live near there?
ReplyDeleteYes I certainly do. In fact I enjoy the food at lots of hawker centres despite the heat.
DeleteI live in the north. Sadly, there is really not much good food in the north.
