Country Chicken Rice

Chicken rice is a perennial favourite of many, from the very young to the very old. There is a place in town which specialises in chicken rice. The name of the shop is Country Chicken Rice (duh!) and it has been in business for a very long time. They sell steamed white chicken, braised soy chicken and roasted chicken.

I was there at about 12.00 p.m., and the shop was buzzing with customers. I was happy to be able to get a table.

Many people tell me that their braised soy chicken is yum, but somehow, I prefer to eat my chicken rice with steamed white chicken.

The rice is a rather large ball, savoury, soft and slightly moist, yet not oily. You can taste the flavour of the chicken stock in the rice.

Customers could request for specific cuts of the meat, i.e. thigh or drumstick. Mine was just the normal order, where there were a combination of thigh and breast meat served atop a few slices of cucumber. The meat was dressed in soy and sesame sauce. I was glad that the breast meat was tender.

The soup that day was a clear winter melon soup, which I liked as it was served really hot.

The ground chilli is a must, and there was a jar on the table for customers to help themselves with. The chilli was not spicy at all, and I found it to be too diluted.

Overall, the chicken rice here, good as it is, does not leave me craving for more. Do drop by and try it for yourself. The shop is located around the Mega Hotel area.
