Craving Comfort: A Satisfying Chicken Rice Feast in Tanjong Katong

in Hive Food7 days ago

It's been a while since I last had chicken rice, and I was craving it earlier, so I decided to go for it. It's definitely one of my top dishes, and I try to have it as often as I can. It's also a very popular dish, with chicken rice stalls in almost every food center in the city. It's easy to find, but I have to admit—not all chicken rice stalls are as good as the really great ones I know. That's why I keep a list of food stalls in locations I'm familiar with. I remember the good ones for two reasons: quality and affordability.

I happened to pass by the Tanjong Katong area, and since I knew a place that serves a good-quality dish at a reasonable price, I decided to have my dinner there.

The stall is called Wang Lao Wu Chicken King, and it's located in the Jalan Batu Food Centre.

They specialize in chicken rice but also offer roasted pork and a variety of vegetable side dishes.

The item on their menu that caught my eye was the chicken rice set. It’s the same chicken rice meal but comes with steamed vegetables and a free soup. At SGD 5.50, I think it’s great value for money and quite satisfying as well.

I usually go for the steamed chicken, but this time, I wanted to try something different, so I went with the roasted chicken instead.

The sautéed vegetables I was given were bok choy, one of my favorites. I love its subtle flavor, and when cooked just right, it has a nice crunchy texture too.

It looks like summer is setting in here in the city. The weather is already warm and humid, and the cool breeze is nowhere to be found. I felt tired easily today, so I treated myself to a refreshing, oversized cup of coconut water with pulp!

Overall, my meal was both satisfying and great value for money, making it a solid choice for a simple yet delicious dinner. The combination of flavorful roasted chicken, crunchy bok choy, and refreshing coconut water was exactly what I needed on a warm day. I'll definitely keep this spot on my list for future cravings!

It's a simple meal, but it has a little bit of everything, so it's balanced without a lot of frills.
I love coconut water, but here in Argentina it is difficult to find it.
Your food looks delicious, but everything you offer also looks very appetizing.

True. It's very flavorful also because th rice is infused with chicken oil and seasoning.

The chicken looks so yummy 😋 Tanjong katong? here in Philippines it is we call tangkong hehehe

Hehehe some of the Malay words sounds similar to Tagalog words 😁

I think chicken rice was the first food that I tried in Malaysia. I am not sure what kind of cafe it was, though.... but it looks exactly the same :)

!BBH

This dish is quite popular in Malaysia too. Especially the Chinese restaurants over there 😁

Oh Man, the chicken rice looks absolutely perfect. Roasted chicken, crunchy bok choy, and a giant coconut water, that’s a meal made for happiness. I'm not in Singapore but I'll make sure I eat rice and chicken today 😂😂

Haha I think roasted chicken in the world taste divine when cooked and season well 😁

precisely 🥹😍💯

😁😋

Portion looks a little small, think i need to order half a chicken. LOL

Agree. I've eaten to other places with better serving portions 😭

Also, just want to clarify. I only upvoted my post at $1 but you downvoted it for $6+, may I ask what is the logic behind it?

Yes, in my view your posts were over rewarded compared to other similar hive posts and especially considering your own post frequency.

Thank you.

It's good you had a nice time and enjoyed your meal. I like trying out new foods and cuisines and this reminds me of the bok choy sauce I made some time ago.

Bok choy is not regularly seen in my location, but it was my first time, and I was curious about what type of vegetable it was and how it could be used in cooking. I finally bought some of it after using Google Lens for a quick search, used it for chicken sauce, and ate it with jollof rice. It was delicious and I liked the fresh, crunchy feeling in my mouth.

It seems you had a cold coconut drink, I wonder how refreshing it tasted. I have taken coconut water at room temp, not tried cold one yet.

The restaurant is a nice place to try out quality and affordable foods.
