Chicken ball rice @ malacca, you got to taste to believe it

Coming off from the chicken rice high at Boon Keng, we proceed to a different city to find a new challenger. Although it's not really your typical chicken rice, it does have the basic recipe for one, rice and chicken, the only difference is that the rice is rolled up in a ball shape, which should remind you of those glutinous rice they used in sushi.

So that's basically what I was expecting to eat and taste when thinking about this one. But as I was dead wrong last time, I'm again very glad to be proven wrong once more. If you search online on what to eat in malacca you pretty much will stumble upon this delicacy too, and what's more it has to be this stall.

And it's true that you want to go there early too, as you would need to wait queue, and if you want to have a shorter waiting time, bring a party of at least 3 people or more so that you can order a whole chicken and they will seat you down rather quickly. The place feels like your normal kopi tiam too with the exception of the people forming a queue outside the shop.

The rice balls look normal until you bring near enough and you can smell the hainanese soya sauce on it, and when you take a bite into it, it holds well enough not to crumble and the bite feels like eating your normal ba-chang glutinous rice, but the soya sauce just blend well enough with the rice to make it taste so darn good!

So then this is the awkward part, how do you eat the rice together with the chicken? Well take a chunk of the slightly soggy with the special soya sauce chicken meat and after a bite, you realize that you don't have too. So you can just eat them separately but having them side by side to eat just makes the experience so much more awesome...certainly i have reached the chicken rice heaven..

Although a whole chicken sounds a lot, but it was quickly pillaged away to bones which probably the only problem with this delicious meal, having the ease of eating the rice ball and having to struggle not to choke to death on the tasty chicken was quite a task. As these chickens comes with so much bones, it's rather hard to eat without having to split out some of the minor bones fragments.

But still this is a must-eat and i can't wait for the next time i go back there!!
