Kampung Chicken Eating House

We drove past and decided to try the chicken rice at this restaurant. It was empty when we arrived and we were the only customers. We ordered from the man at the chicken counter who did not acknowledge us. The food was decent - the meat was soft and tender, and the vegetables were also fine. The salted fish steam mince pork was particularly good. We ordered drinks at the counter but the lady did not reply, and the drinks were eventually brought by the ponytail chef. When the food was served, none of the employees explained what each dish was. It felt like we were in a cafe full of employees who were unable to speak. Haha!

I recently tried the best Kampong steam chicken I have ever tasted in Singapore. The chicken was tender, fresh, and succulent. It was so delicious that I even bought some takeaway for my kids to enjoy later.

Great food. Paid extra 50 cents for the takeaway soup, not worth it though.

How shall I describe this? This place lacks ambition. The shopkeeper barely looked up when you walked in. In fact, this place reminded me of those Wulin Assassin tucked in a most unexpected corner of the world. The uncompetitiveness was obvious from their fit out and the homely plates that housed their food, easily decades (or centuries) ago depending on your imagination. But you were unable to stop after your first bite. You were going to devour whatever you've ordered in less than 5 minutes, no matter how much you've ordered. It happened to me. It was as if i went into a trance or a most blissful dream that nothing could go wrong (no ill taste, no drama). Even a slice of tomato was heavenly. Imagine that! I tested my theory by scooping up as many slices of coconut meat from the coconut in front of me with the thinnest stainless steel spoon possible. Nope. I didn't mis-scoop a single slice! Remember how you always slipped or scooped too hard that your coconut dropped in reality? It didn't happen. This place WAS a dream.

Rating: 4.5 stars The chicken is deliciously juicy, and the soup has a delectable savory flavor with hints of cabbage and winter melon. The rice is also quite tasty.
