Simple yet Nice!

Sesame Chicken with Rice + Egg

Few days ago, I went to Makan Place for lunch again! There are many stalls where I can choose from, but I wanted to have something light and simple just like my home cooked food. Braised Sesame Chicken! Located all the way inside of the canteen.

The braised chicken have a smooth and soft texture, but not tender enough . I can smell sesame oil when I had the chicken and it tasted sweet with the (not so thick) dark soy sauce and very little spring onions. Although you can see that there is a layer of oil over the sauce, it doesn't feel oily at all because it blends in so well with the chicken and rice I had. As always, I like to have gravy on my rice which makes it wet and delicious to eat.

One thing that I will never forget is that I'm always get plenty of white rice from the stall auntie and the aunties there are really nice to their customers. When I was about to pay this meal to the auntie, a coin fell straight into my bowl of sesame chicken. And she straight away exchanged another bowl of chicken for me when she knew it, without me paying them. I felt so happy about their service and I really think they deserved to be thanked when they care about food. Moreover, their queue is always fast as they sell only three main dishes(curry chicken, sesame chicken & chicken broth). I remember that the temperature of their food they served is just hot. However, I noticed that their eggs were cooked before hand, so when I ordered, it was cold but still edible.

Overall, you can see that the presentation of this dish is not so clean. So I would give a rating of 6.5/10.
