This place is one of My Favourite Chicken Rice Place in Singapore. My first encounter with this place was 11 years ago, on my first visit to Singapore. To this date, I have visited this place numerous time but less frequent recently as I try to heed my GP's advice in watching my cholesterol level :)
So
what to eat at this place: of course the Hainanese Chicken and
Chicken Rice. The rice is moist, fragrant and al dente. It is not
oily and the grain does not stick to each other. The Chicken is
coated with oil and soya sauce, topped with parsley. The chicken skin
has the right thickness and meat from drumstick to breast is moist
and succulent. I rate it 9 / 10.
The
other reason why I love this place, is that when I ask for the
chicken bishop (Yup, the backside) they serve it to me on a bowl
generously. Some elders said that chicken bishop can help with your
face complexion, for me I just love the fattiness and the texture of
it. I even master the skilled to remove the stinky part on the top of
the bishop that normally put people off.
The Rice and the Bishop |
Not to be miss here is
their Crispy Nonya Tofu and Ngoh Hiang Nyonya Style. The tofu is
made from egg tofu, deep fried perfectly with the crispy texture on
the outside and moist tofu texture on the inside. The Ngoh Hiang also
similar, crispy texture of beancurd skin and moist meat feeling
inside. Really complement the chicken rice.
Pow Sing Restaurant also
serve Peranakan food and other Chinese food. On our last visit we
ordered the Steam Garoupa, Fish Maw Soup and stir fry baby kailan.
The garoupa was served on aluminium plate with a heating fire below
it. Although the fish is fresh, it was a bit over steamed and the
meat was slightly though. The fish maw soup has a nice thickness to
it but it is neither robust or flavourful. The vegetable is still
crunchy, but a bit oily.
The furnishing of this
place is very simple. They hang the picture of their recommended
dishes on the wall. The service is very minimum and no fuss.
Overall, I consider this
place in my Top 3 Chicken rice place because its consistency in
producing the Hainanese Chicken and chicken rice. Of course the
bishop parts also helps. Cheers :)
