Dinner at Boon Tong Kee (#01-1194, 233 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, tel : +65 6457 2696). They're one of the more eminent if not the most recognized name for chicken rice. They're okay - lots of good ones around on this sunny island. The location of this restaurant in Ang Mo Kio looked familiar...did it used to be Uncle Leong in the past?
Anyways, what's not a secret is that they do cze char other than chicken rice.
What we didn't expect was the char siew they positioned together with the appetizers that some Chinese restaurants do and charge you for. We didn't refuse because it looked good. It actually tasted not bad. Gonna come try them again to be sure. Decent caramelization with a sweet glaze and it was a cut that had both meat and fat.
Obligatory vegetables of stir fried kailan. Not one of the better quality kailan around so they're obligatory on hindsight.
I had these crispy skin tofu previously at their restaurant at Boon Keng. Yes, that was quite a while back. While I thought they were nice then, today's impression seemed even better.
Prawn toasts were not bad. Prices have gone up a dollar a piece since they last time we've had them. Which was a long while back.
Chicken's okay. Nothing much to fault and like I've said, there's plenty of good ones to go around.
A side of creamy chicken livers.
Did not realize that their sliced fish and bitter gourd dish was done with black bean sauce when we ordered it. A garlicky black bean sauce at that. What a pleasant surprise.
The rice was pretty much how I remembered them. Decent quality chicken rice with a light flavour and not one of the better ones I've had. They've been consistent with that so I guess it's the way they roll with their rice.
I like the orh nee they serve here. Thick and creamy.
