Not Jew kid. We weren't quite done with eating at home yet because too many reasons to run through. We ordered from Jew Kit (
105 Killiney Rd) - a local eatery that added to the list of
restaurants that do chicken rice and
cze char.
Pretty impressed with the quality of their boiled/steamed chicken (白鸡). We ordered a half chicken which came chilled with a thin layer of jelly beneath the skin. Chicken was respectably slurp off the bone tender. So now we know where else to get some nice chicken rice in town.
The oil rice (油饭) or what many usually refer to as chicken rice wasn't heavily flavoured. There were some. Not as nuanced as I generally
prefer. Not much to remember by on its own. But it paired very nicely with their chilli which introduced a synergy to the flavours. I'm going to leave it at that.
I was curious about their special pineapple steamed fish - intrigued mostly by how it looked on the menu and imagining the sweet pineapple sauce with diced bits of the fruit over the tender steamed fish.
This was the real Slim Shady. Not so much pineapple bits but the sauce was pulpy. Must have been made with a lot of pineapples. When we opened the packaging, there was a waft of something that I thought might have been tamarind.
Sauce had a fruity sweetness, was tangy and had a nice warmth from the chilli. What I liked most about it was the flavour of pineapple that it captured. Very appetizing stuff that I found addictive. Fish was good quality and tender.
So this dish looked little like the picture on the menu, didn't taste like what I imagined from that but turned out to be very delicious.
We washed it down with some sour plum Coke.
