SAF Captain Goh has just been promoted to CCC (Chicken Conman Captain). Anyhow cut-and-paste picture to pass off as his own.
the mandarin hotel chicken rice is not that good leh.
The rice is not completely cooked.
The chicken so-so..
But it's so bloody expensive...for a chicken rice...
Any hawker centers chicken rice you mentioned here could easily beat them....cheaper some more..:d
anybody knows where to eat good fried chicken rice? Used to like the one beside the supreme court...
A lot of people forgot something else, the chopping and deboning skills. This is very much valued and esteemed in Japanese cuisines, but somehow quite slighted for Chinese dishes. And this shows up and tastes up particularly different and better in duck rice or duck dishes than chicken rice or chicken dishes.
Yes. Cutting up a chicken needs some skills else those who eat it will find it very awkward and difficult to enjoy it. Some people have such a lousy cutting skill thatl when you eat, your mouth are easily poked by the bones.

You have to cut the chicken skilfully so that the juice will remain within the meat. The basic is to cut along the joints at an angle and never directly into bare bones. The worst kind is to miss the joints but cut on the bones of chicken wings directly. Never cut straight into the breast meat but slanted to about 30 degree to the grains of the meat. But all these are easily said than done. Need alot of practice.

I fondly remember the time when kfc had metal plates and utensils.KFC was originally a chain of full service restaurants with fresh food cooked to order (like Tony Roma's chain). It was in the late 80s that PepsiCo bought over KFC and converted it to a fast food chain.
Talking about chicken rice franchise, I think that Boon Tong Kee is seriously overrated and overpriced.

...dun sound like a tough captain leh..
After PepsiCo bought over KFC and Pizza Hut, good food turned into junk food. They won't interested in the food business itself, they're interested in them as fast outlets for their soft drinks. In earlier years, PepsiCo had lots of problems competing in this area as Coca Cola cornered most of the fast food markets with contracts with McDonald's, Burger King etc.
yes KFC is so lousy now, so after pepsi aka mormon took over, it went down, then in singapore they went halah and went down the drain.
KFC in non muslim state is much better.
why should singapore KFC cather to muslim? just to get a little more sale?
we are not muslim state.
I do agree that Singapore KFC borders on unpalatability, especially the so-called original recipe version, total visual and gastronomic disaster. Hoever, I think that the state of KFC food in Singapore has nothing to do with halal or non-halal; it's something to with the Singapore management.
In Malaysia, KFC fried chicken pieces looks and tastes so much better than Singapore, and it's halal for sure. But one Singapore non-Muslim brandname that went from famously delicious to common barely edible after converting to halal is Old Chang Kee curry puff and snacks.
especially the original verison, it is left in that box for so long, so when you order it, and eat, it taste like shit.
i miss the good old original recipe, back when it is a restaurant, not a mormon play thing. not a fast food chain.
To digress a bit away from rice. KFC nuggets also taste like cardboard.Ramseth said:Singapore KFC borders on unpalatability, especially the so-called original recipe version, total visual and gastronomic disaster.

Bro, just a suggestion. Any chance of putting this in your blog in a light hearted folder etc. It may not be appropriate being a political blog but your explanation/receipe is the best that I come across.
On my travels, I would like to share with ex-singaporeans and singaporeans based overseas. I know that I can copy it but I tend to lose these things. Its easier to remember you and google your blog.
Would understand if you don't want to do it.
They also have one thing outstanding, their French fries. Even many 5-star restaurants don't serve as good French fries as McDonald's.
