The Chicken Rice Chronicles Part 4: Tang Tea House

Aha! We have finally reached Part 4 in our series for Chicken Rice.
“Series?? What series???” you might be asking… Well, you might want to read THIS first then…

Okay ready? This time we are at Tang Tea House!

Chicken Rice ($4.00)

Okay let me start by saying that that picture up there actually shows a HALF CHICKEN serving.
The normal serving for 1 person is definitely lesser chicken than that but you’ll see why we ended up with half a chicken by the end of this post…

I think those who have eaten at Tang Tea House will probably know what I’m talking about…

What’s so nice about the Chicken Rice at Tang Tea House?
Well, in our humble opinion – it’s gotta be the Roasted Chicken!

The meat is well-cooked and super tended. I’m not sure what technique they are employing here but it obviously works wonders and we’ve never had a time where we regretted ordering the Roasted Chicken at Tang Tea House (sometimes we even order it as is and without rice!)

The meat is super tender and the skin has a nice subtle crisp to it if you’re lucky to get that part.
Well, we always order a half chicken so we ALWAYS get that part. Yes seriously. We always order half a chicken. No joke.

And that nice salty gravy that comes along with it… Ooohhhhh… That’s the best part to me.
I know I know it’s salty and you should eat in moderation but I think I love it too much. It definitely enhances the flavour overall if you ask me.

The rice as just so-so to be perfectly honest with you.
Yeah sure you do get some of the Chicken Rice flavour that you’d expect but it’s really a very strong flavour.
Nice and grainy I guess but we have tasted better rice.

But my darling wife did rather like it though… Maybe it’s just me…

The chilli is where the team’s opinions kinda differ a little bit…

My Mum and my darling wife both adore the chilli. My mum says it’s the bomb and even goes as far as to say it’s ‘the real thing’. I’m guessing she’s saying that because it’s more on the spicy side and less sweet compared to other Chicken Rice chillies around. My darling wife says it was “just nice”.

I actually didn’t like the chilli very much.
I guess I’m more used to the type of Chicken Rice chilli with a bit more vinegar and/or sugar. But you can see how thick the chilli’s texture is so you know it’s packing quite a punch!

Adam’s Verdict:
Chicken 5/5 — Rice 2.5/5 — Chilli 2.5/5 — Overall 4/5

Maryah’s Verdict:
Chicken 5/5 — Rice 3/5 — Chilli 3.5/5 — Overall 4.5/5

Asmah’s Verdict:
Chicken 5/5 — Rice 2/5 — Chilli 4/5 — Overall 4/5

Well it looks like Tang Tea House is tops so far in our list of Chicken Rice stalls for this series…
But then again, this is only part 3… Many more to come!!

But hey… let me repeat again… The Roasted Chicken at Tang Tea House is really the bomb!!!
It’s minimum half a chicken whenever we go… Seriously…
