Soya Sauce Chicken

Every country has their chickens and they eat them their way. If you take away the fast food types and the restaurants, we have very good chickens from the chicken rice hawkers that the Michelin people do not know. Every Singaporean has their personal favourite too from Wee Nam Kee to Lee Fun Nam Kee, from Tian Tian to Chin Chin, from Kamoung Chicken to Boon Tong Kee, from Chen Ji (Tanglin Halt) to Uncle Chicken (Simpang Bedok),  from Yeo Keng Nam (Braddell) to Pow Sing, from Yet Con to Loy Kee and from Sin Kee (ex Margaret Drive) to Sergeant. There are actually many very good chicken rice that could be found at neighbourhood HDB coffee shops. I know some and a very good one at Serangoon. Singapore should be the chicken rice capital of the world. Okay, let's not be too boastful, just say another top hub - chicken rice hub.

There are stalls that just have steamed version or roast chicken and yet a few that sells soya sauce chicken. The latter has the fewest as most are either white or roasted. Some stalls have both but they are mainly either steamed or roasted. The Michelin Gourmand award from the Chinatown stall is a soya sauce chicken.

There used to be a very popular and good one at Upper Cross Street. Those of you who prowl Chinatown and Hong Lim precincts will know the stall. 

When the guru does not go to the mountain, the mountain comes to the guru - at the Tanjong Pagar market.

I ordered a drum stick with rice. This is not the sticky sauce version.

When you are early, there is no queue. There would be a regular queue during lunch time though. 

$4 for a soya sauce chicken drumstick is reasonable.

Do use the right type of chilli sauce - one version is for you to add to your noodles and the other is to be used for dipping as it goes well with the chicken.

The noodle is a crunchy egg noodle which taste better than the type of noodle on offer by other noodle stalls.

Please continue to queue at the other stalls and not elongate this one as I could get my regular fix without much ado.

Even on a Saturday they are open.

Get a whole chicken if you have a few others with you.

I prefer the rice over the noodles simply because the rice and the gravy get along so well it makes the meal "fabulicious", in particular if you order the rice with a drumstick. 

With the no unnecessary queue, the more than reasonable price at $4 for the drumstick on rice and a delicious meal, "if this is not Michelin also got Pirelli one". I like this say in English, you understand?  Can?

I saw a couple of articles that BBC reported that nasi lemak and char kway teow are top ten healthy and nutritional meals, I laughed out loud as they gave credence to the fact that they have carbo, proteins, blah blah blah. If that were the case, this soya sauce chicken can do no wrong. By the way, which is your favourite type of chicken - soya sauced, steamed or roasted?
