Restoran Wong Soon Kee needs no introduction. This stall used to be occupied by Lim’s Fried Chicken but the new operators are equally good, if not better. They do a brisk business and there’s always a rack of freshly fried chicken still hot from the fryers. The chicken here is fabulous — juicy and tender with a crispy exterior. It pairs well with the coconut rice (optional), topped with some curry and sweet sambal.

Restoran Hoe Fong Chicken Rice is a no-frills fried chicken rice place. The restaurant just does one thing perfectly, and that’s the fried chicken. Eating it on its own is already delicious because of the sweet soy sauce and garlic marinade but it tastes even better with the usual soy and garlic chilli sauces as accoutrements. Then there is the salted vegetable soup which balances out all the greasy flavours.
