We are Singapore…

I don’t know if they still do it but I know that at one time, every year for its National Day on the 9th of August, they would have a special song for the occasion. One particular year, they had this one that I liked a lot…

I was in Singapore on holiday that year and they were playing it everywhere and because I liked it so much, I even went and bought the cassette tape. One of the tracks was the minus-one instrumental version which I could use for my students to sing at those annual school concerts in one of my former schools – just change the lyrics a bit! LOL!!!

Well, this post is not going to be about “We are Singapore…Singaporeans” but “We are Singapore…Singapore Chicken Rice”! Why, they even have the Merlion as their logo!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

They have just opened a new outlet at the Lot 9 commercial area – directly opposite Delta Mall or Sugar Bun in the Delta Commercial Centre along Jalan Pedada here (but because of the road divider, you will have to go all the way up to the Selemo Roundabout to get to the other side of the road). This is the 3rd one, if I’m not mistaken – other than the one in the Tunku Osman area behind HSBC and another one in the TanahMas area directly opposite Premier Hotel.

This new one looks pretty nice inside…

Image blurred in the interest of those concerned. LOL!!!

You can have their chicken rice at RM3.40, steamed…

…or roasted…

…and that comes with a plate of chicken rice and a small bowl of complimentary clear soup. There are side orders as well, such as these fried wantons (RM4.80)…

…or this plate of seafood kailan (RM4.00)…

There are other choices too, even western food such as chicken chop or fish and chips. We did not have those the other day; guess I’ll just have to go back there again another time to see if they’re any good.

All in all, inclusive of drinks, the bill came up to RM21.80 for two persons…which I would think was pretty all right, considering that the place is nice and comfortable and airconditioned. However, they got the drink orders mixed up…and the chicken rice came VERY fast, almost instantly and even before the drinks, plus it was somewhat cold…and we had almost finished that when the side orders FINALLY came. Taking that in consideration, if you are in a hurry and on a short lunch break, you should just forget about the side orders and just stick to the chicken rice.

Tastewise, everything was not bad at all. I think it is something along the same line as The Chicken Rice Shop which I’ve tried – once in KL (Berjaya Times Square) and again in Sungai Petani, Kedah (The Village Mall). Nice…but I would not say it’s sensational. Go ahead, give it a try…
