Pretty impressed with Shen Ji Chicken Rice (Guan Kim Coffeeshop, 47 Tanglin Halt Road). If the addressed looked familiar, it was because this chicken rice stall was located right next to Maria's Corner.
To be more precise what I was impressed with was the boiled chicken rather than the roasted one. Not that the roasted one was bad. Their boiled chicken was served chilled, smooth, was slurp off the bone tender and had those delicious gelatinous layer under the skin. This was dangerously close to the standards at Sin Kee.
We had a serving of liver on the side which was creamy.
Boiled eggs were boiled eggs.
I was taken in by their rice. It was greasy without being excessive. Had sufficient flavour going on with enough salt and savoury that every spoonful was torn between just rice, with chilli or dark soy sauce. Yes it was good enough to be eaten on its own. So good that I had seconds. Speaking of the chilli - Shen Ji's packed a bit of heat, not enough ginger to bother me and zest from the limes they used. Lightly salted and pretty appetizing.
