Master Chicken @ Kim Keat Palm Food Centre - Taste of the Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice

Master Chicken at Kim Keat Palm Food Centre is opened by Jason who used to work at Dong Feng Fa Hainanese Chicken Rice. When he first opened in Toa Payoh more than a year back, there was some attention in the social media space. It took me more than a year to finally make a trip down to check out the stall selling Hainanese boneless chicken rice

The stall sells both the poached chicken and roasted chicken. The first thing that I noticed was the size of the chicken. It was not chopped to the chunky portion as per the picture at the stall. Furthermore, I was disappointed that the skin was missing from most of my chicken pieces.

Chicken Rice 3.5/5

I had the set which is $3.50 and it supposed to come with more chicken meat. I would assume it will be half the portion if I get the standard portion. The chicken was quite tender and decent but it is not among the best I have eaten. I also added some chicken innards for an additional 50 cents.

The rice was pretty fragrant, fluffy and grainy. I also like the fact that it is not very oily. For the chilli and garlic, I found it too watery for my liking.

Over all I find Master Chicken's chicken rice quite ordinary. For my lunch experience, sorry to say it but I did not discover anything that make the chicken rice memorable or stand out for me.

Quan Soon Wanton Noodle @ Teban Garden Food Centre - One Of The Cheapest Wanton Mee At $2

Further down the row of stalls of JH Fishball Noodle at Teban Garden Food Centre is Quan Soon Wanton Noodle. Quan Soon Wanton Noodle is owned by 62 years old Madam Wong who has been offering cheap and affordable food for the neighbourhood for the past 37 years. You can get a plate of wanton mee for $2 at her stall.

Wanton Mee 3.5/5

The stall sells a variety of noodle dishes such as Wanton Mee, Laksa and Prawn Noodle, all at a low price of $2. Madam Wong has continued to sell her noodles at $2 because there are many old people which do not have a lot of money in the estate and she wanted to provide affordable food which can help to fill their stomach.

Wanton Mee 3.5/5

My plate of wanton mee dry for a mere $2 comes with springy noodles, 2 wantons, slices of char siew  and some vegetables. I enjoyed the texture of the noodle as well as the wanton which is stuffed with minced pork and chestnut, I can even taste hints of dry sole fish in the wanton filling.

For those that is looking for something for substantial, you can also go for the larger portion at $2.50 or $3. The plate of wanton mee may not be the best but it does come with that old school flavours, bringing back my childhood memories.
