Our favourite

One afternoon as I was taking a stroll, I came across a chicken rice stall which sold chicken rice that is cheap ($1.50 only!) and yummy. The chicken rice came in a good portion size, and the chilli was fantastic. The macaroni dish is available at only $1.50 per bowl too.

The flavour is full and spicy. The portion is generous, enough for a group of three persons to feast on, along with some side dishes and rice. I also recommend their in-house speciality, the deliciously fried beancurd.
