Chicken House (Thomson)

When I was served the chicken rice set, my first impression was that the skin was significantly more yellow as compared to the chicken rice chicken that I am used to. While I was expecting the chicken flesh to be more on the tougher side, it was surprisingly extremely succulent and tender. It definitely was firmer than your usual chicken and I love how it also had a slightly springy texture. The plate of chicken was drenched in a simple sauce that was a mix of sweet and savoury and helped to elevate the flavour profile and the natural sweetness of the chicken. To get a different experience altogether, dunk the chicken in the other sauces provided such as sweet sauce, ginger and chilli. Be warned: the chilli is extremely spicy, so if your spice tolerance is low, do only taste a little bit of it at a time! However, if you love spicy food, you'll definitely be addicted to this sauce as it is extremely punchy, zesty and piquant. In terms of the rice, it was fluffy, fragrant and coated in an aromatic chicken oil that allowed it to pair well with the chicken. I also appreciate how it was not overly greasy. For the price point, the entire set at S$4.20 is definitely worth the money. It is rare to come across authentic Kampong chicken these days and the ones here at Chicken House are the real deal, yet affordably priced.
