Super wallet-friendly Western meals with $5 hen chop at Jurong West

With Chicken Supremo, I’ve presumably discovered essentially the most inexpensive halal Western stall in Singapore. It’s positioned alongside Jurong West Street 41 (which admittedly wasn’t essentially the most handy location round), and I simply needed to strive it as soon as I noticed their absurd costs on-line.

Having began manner again in 1992, Chicken Supremo has develop into an icon amongst residents of Jurong West. When their stall fell sufferer to the hearth that destroyed the Jurong West moist market and low store in 2016, many residents expressed their help by way of social media.

There was additionally a reoccurring point out of a Bismillah Aunty on-line which was a reference to the aunty who works there and continually says a blessing whereas cooking, taking and handing out orders.

If you scour the web, you too can discover patrons complimenting the Western stall, mentioning how they’ve been consuming there since secondary college and the way it supplied quite a few low cost household dinners. Suffice it to say, it’s been inexpensive for a really very long time.

What I attempted at Chicken Supremo

It’s not usually you get old-school Western meals at old-school costs. Chicken Supremo undoubtedly shines in that division.

Options sensible, it had all of the Western hawker classics that you just knew as a baby, minus some beef and pasta choices. There have been objects equivalent to Beef Burger (S$2), Chicken Cutlet (S$5) and Fish and Chip (S$5). For a extremely late lunch, I had the Black Pepper Chicken Chop (S$5.50), Cheese Fries (S$2) and Chicken Wing (S$1.20).

I opted to style the Cheese Fries earlier than they acquired soggy and chilly within the drizzly climate. I initially thought that the portion was barely missing with fries because it half of the order I’d get within the Western stall round my space.

Then once more, I’m paying lower than half of what that price, so it made sense. They have been significantly beneficiant too with their cheese and mayo condiments, extra so than most KFC shops.

Taste sensible, it was faultless. Generic cheese sauce and mayo on heat and crispy shoestring fries, blessed in fact, like each hawker cheese fries you ever had at half the value!

Next was the Chicken Wing, which had crispy pores and skin and surprisingly juicy flesh. The greatest technique to describe the style was that acquainted salty, savoury and doubtless MSG-laden Western hawker stall fried hen flavour. However, I believed it may have nonetheless used a little bit extra salt.

On to my principal dish, the Black Pepper Chicken Chop. It actually regarded the half, with the identical shoestring fries, canned baked beans and coleslaw, and a decently sized hen chop with black pepper sauce that was runnier than I used to be used to.

Surprisingly, my hen chop was tender to chop and equally to chew. There was additionally a good bit of char added to the general style.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of the sauce. It was actually watered down and was primarily a barely salty brown liquid with very faint hints of black pepper.

I additionally actually preferred the bun that got here with the meal. It was a fried and buttery delight with a satisfying crunch at each chew.

Final ideas

Was this the very best Western meals I’ve ever had? No. Was it the most cost effective? Yes. This is simple to advocate for individuals residing across the space, however it’s arduous to do the identical for somebody who doesn’t, particularly whenever you take the travelling price into consideration.

Whilst undeniably inexpensive, I believe they’re higher tastier choices albeit at a touch larger worth.

As my meal got here to an finish, I noticed a big crowd queuing for his or her meal. Heartwarming scenes of households and even teams of secondary college college students awaiting an inexpensive dinner, and onward goes the cycle as soon as once more.
