Guan Hock Tiong Eating House, Chicken Rice

This stall is located next to the ba chor noodle stall. The chicken meat is plentiful for the price of $ 2.50, and sits atop rice that is not only cooked perfectly, but also exudes that aroma that we associate with good chicken rice. Given the price, I consider it to be far better in terms of value than some of the other chicken rice stalls that charge around $ 4 – 5 per person. This is heartland fare, humble, understated, and simply well-​prepared food at an unbeatable price. The coriander-​garnished soup is light and not salty, allowing you to cleanse your palate — or more often in my case, to relieve my tongue of the chilli sauce that provides a kick (or two).
