When you visit the stall and see the box, you may be intrigue by
the phrase "Salted-Baked Chicken". You cannot see the chicken as it
is wrapped up like a mummy and placed in the food warmer. I have given it a miss as the box does not look attractive, and the way they wrap the chicken is not
appealing to me. However, I was informed by one of my friends that Chakey's
Salted-Baked Chicken is very famous. In Junction 8, it will be sold out by late
evening. This leads me to try buying one from the Hougang Mall.
This is how the chicken looks like when I removed the wrapper. It
is still warm, and it does smell good. It seems to me that the chicken has been
cooked for a long time, and just a little pull, you would be able to remove the
wings and drumsticks for consumption. You can basically tear the chicken apart
without much effort.
After taking a
bite, I was surprised that this chicken is well-cooked. The meat is tender and
soft. The gravy is trapped in the meat, and you would find the meat delicious
and juicy. It has a light herbal taste and not really salty at all. I would say
that the chef making this dish puts in just the right amount
of ingredients and spices to perfect the taste.
I would recommend
any foodies who likes to eat soft and tender chicken meat to try out this dish.
It costs less than $20 and a good dish to be served during your meals.
Forget about going
to Bishan Junction 8 basement to buy this chicken. Come to Hougang Mall
basement and you can find the shop next to the escalator. The lesson I learnt
here is "Don''t judge a chicken by its box".
Next, I would
share with you my favourite pizza at a very special pizza restaurant. Do come
back for it.
