Delicious Delights at Ah Siong Roast Duck: Roasted Chicken Rice with Char Siew in Kovan

 


In the heart of Kovan, nestled within a bustling coffee shop, lies a hidden gem known as Ah Siong Roast Duck. Among the numerous mouthwatering dishes on their menu, one particular dish stands out – the Roasted Chicken Rice with Char Siew. As chicken rice enthusiasts, we couldn't resist the temptation to try out this hawker stall's rendition of the classic dish. Join us as we delve into the delightful flavors and inviting aroma of this delectable meal.

The Art of Tender Roasted Chicken

When it comes to judging the quality of a chicken rice stall, the true test lies in their chicken breast. A well-made roasted chicken breast is a rare treat, as it is notorious for being the driest and toughest meat. However, at Ah Siong Roast Duck, we were in for a pleasant surprise. Their roasted chicken breast was tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor. It was evident that the chefs knew their craft, as they had expertly mastered the art of preparing tender and delicious roasted chicken.

Char Siew: A Taste of Perfection

Aside from the mouthwatering roasted chicken, Ah Siong's Char Siew was equally delightful. Tender and juicy, the char siew boasted a tantalizing smokiness that elevated its taste to new heights. The accompanying thick gravy sauce complemented the char siew perfectly, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that left us craving for more.

Grainy Fragrant Rice

No chicken rice is complete without the essential component – the rice. Ah Siong's version of the staple was nothing short of perfection. The rice was cooked to the ideal texture – grainy and fluffy, with each grain distinct and separate from the others. Its fragrant aroma teased our senses, promising a delightful gastronomic experience with every mouthful.

The Magic of the Chili Sauce

The true essence of chicken rice lies not only in the rice and the meat but also in the accompanying chili sauce. Ah Siong's chili sauce was slightly runny but packed a punch of flavor. It was the perfect balance of spiciness, tanginess, and sweetness, enhancing the overall taste of the dish. Each spoonful of this delightful sauce provided a satisfying kick that left our taste buds dancing with delight.

The Verdict: A Filling Meal at an Affordable Price

Ah Siong Roast Duck's Roasted Chicken Rice with Char Siew proved to be a delightful culinary experience. At just $4.50 per plate, the portion was generous, leaving us feeling thoroughly satisfied. The meal was quick and simple, making it an excellent choice for a quick lunch or a hearty dinner.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics.

But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...
