My dad says Powsing chicken rice is so last year and insisted I try Kampong Chicken at Upper Thomson.
Kampong chicken comes from Malaysia. They are free-range chickens that are allowed to roam instead of being caged. Though scrawnier than their farmed counterparts, these chickens are generally considered to have higher nutritional value. (Wiki)
On Saturday night Uncle Jimmy picked us up from the hotel and drove us to 255 Upper Thomson.
Here's what the façade looks like, and I know, what is up with the crab logo on the sign?
Apparently crab is one of their specialties but they're always sold out.
Between 100-150 chickens are served everyday in this humble chicken rice hole in the wall.
Joining us for dinner was Mina, 3, granddaughter of my dad's friend. She is half American and half Singaporean.
Here she is patiently waiting for food. Don't you wish your three-year-old could do this?
At last the chicken rice arrived. This is seriously one of the best I've ever had, and I've tried a lot!
My gauge of really good chicken rice is if the rice can be eaten on its own, simply because it's flavorful.
This chicken is yellowish. I detected a kind of gelatin in between the skin. My sister found it "umay" but I loved it!
There were other dishes, but you know me, I ignore the veggies! Sorry folks.
Here's one of the popular dishes, chicken tails. My mom enjoyed this.
I highly recommend it, but don't know how to get there except by car/cab. Super worth the trip.
