Chicken Rice (SGD $5) @ Liao Fan / Hawker Chan.
.
Propelled to fame as the 1st hawker stall to be conferred a Michelin star (and also the least expensive 1-Michelin star meal in the world at the time), Chef Chan Hon Meng might have lost the star, but not the long queues of hungry patrons.
.
Still going at it everyday, just as he's done before the star. The chicken is wonderfully bouncy and tender, with the chicken meat holding clean sweet savoury notes, while the chicken skin has robust salty savoury nutty flavour.
.
The rice is fluffy and lightly fragrant with mild grainy sweet flavour, juicy cucumbers, soft braised peanuts, and wobbly egg to complete.
The soya chicken was yumyum.. most importantly the price is affordable. I like their Charsiew the most..
The location was very remote.. if ure driving a car, you can park at block 335 Smith Street.. multistorey parking.. $1.20 for half an hour.. slightly expensive because crowd area...
I must be one of the last to try Hawker Chan.
For years, Hawker Chan served his soya sauce chicken rice and noodles at the Chinatown Hawker Centre, enjoying long queues. It is only more recently he expanded into a nice air conditioned at the corner of Smith and Eu Tong Sen Street. As a family, we ordered a range of dishes. They were all good. I highly recommend a visit.
