Chicken rice near Boon Keng MRT SG

My friend told me that there's a very delicious chicken rice somewhere in Boon Keng, as a dude who's more than familiar with chicken rice, as i've tasted many stalls of chicken rice in my hey day, ranging from hainanese chicken rice, to chicken rice with soya sprout sauce, and many others.

They weren't bad but to say that any of it is excellent is probably an exaggeration as after all it's just chicken and white rice, how good or different could it be?

But i'm always more than glad to be proven wrong in this type of situation... hehe
It was somewhat of a restaurant type feel, we waited for a while before we're seated, the deco looks good, the people looks satisfied, everythings good to go it would seem.

So we ordered a chicken, a fried taufu, some vegetables and since my friend wanted to have some pork, we order a dish of ku lou yuk too, can't translate this as i don't know what the first two words means but only the last words mean meat in cantonese.

the chicken seems deceivingly simple, white meat with a little soya sauce on it...
a bite into the soft aromatic meat is already well worth the trip.

then i was to try the fried tofu, as i was told that the skin of the tofu doesn't touch the tofu, haha.
i know it sounds dumb but at least it's special so you take one piece of it and dip it into some cold mayo sauce and take the bite. make sure the tofu is still deep fried hot when you eat it like this. mmm...

the rice was excellent too, it's aromatic and whatever sauce that they put on it was just enough to make it really tasty. too bad i didn't remember to take a picture of that one, i guess i was too busy trying to eat, hehe.

in case you're wondering what the vegetable looks like, here it is:
it's just lightly cooked with some oyster sauce on it, thick and sweet.
and the vegetable?

soft and cooked just right.

although i can't say the same for the ku lou yok, it's nothing special and it doesn't really mix well with the taste for the rest of the dishes, in fact i would go so far as to say that the taste actually makes the rest doesn't taste as well. it's too overpowering..

so skip that one, go with the rest of the stuff that i've mentioned here. it would blow you away!

in case you're wondering what the place is call, it's boon tong kee, and i just found out that they have a few outlets in around singapore. so take your pick.
