My turn to add on. This store actually has a family history. If you will to do a research, down the street, there's actually another similar store which belongs to the sister.
Oh by the way Chiew Kee is open by the brother. I have yet to try the sister one but the one by the bro which is Chiew kee is obviously more popular.
The shop is always crowded. Have tried the rice but not the noodle yet. The sauce is fantasic not very salty when added to the rice, it actually makes the rice turn slightly sweet.
The chicken wise, since is "You Ji Fan", Soya Sauce Chicken, the skin of the chicken is understandably slightly mroe oily which is acceptable.
Lastly, the soup!!! which I don't fancy at all because its very Oily!! You can see the layer of oil on top of the soup.
Overall, it still taste ok!

Ok, I don't know if I have blogged about this place before, but given it's 30 over years of history, I guess I have to do this.
I ate at this place a couple of times already, just that last time there wasn't such thing called a "blog". So since I had the luxury to use the internet, why not?
Anyway, situated at Upper Cross Street, this so called "restaurant" has it's history for serving Soy Sauce Chicken Rice or Noodles - depending on what you would like to have. Ordering it is almost the same as any chicken rice stall you would patronise. It's even better if you can speak Cantonese because most of them do.
Now, my family - which only has my dad, mum, brother and I that went there - ordered half a chicken, a bowl of dumplings and soup, as well as a plate of kai lan. And my dad ordered noodles while the rest of us had their chicken rice.
The things that we ordered.
Famously speaking, their soy sauce chicken is really fantastic to begin with. The sauce blends well with the chicken, making it taste so yummy. The dumplings in the soup were fantastic. Normally known as sui gao to the Cantonese, these dumplings that are sold here are really not bad after all. Just when I thought that my grandma did nicer ones. Haha. The quantity for the chicken and the dumplings were generally enough to make 4 of us full.
The kai lan that we ordered was alright, not too oily I guess. But the one that deserves mentioning is the rice. Have you ever tried chicken rice that is soft, fragrant yet NOT OILY? Well, you got that right, this place has it. The rice is soft, yet the rice is not oily - which in other words - Kinda Healthy Chicken Rice. Fantastic stuff.
Overall, I feel that anyone of you should give it a try since Chicken Rice has been part of our everday "ta bao food" habits. Price wise wasn't too expensive as well. You gotta tolerate a little with the service of the drinks people because they are all old and kinda "senile". Haha. One of them actually said thank you to my brother so loud when she's just beside him like 30cm away. LOL.
Oh well, it's all about the food that matters sometimes. And it's Chinatown for god sake. Can't expect THAT GOOD service from OLD PEOPLE. Haha.
