My ears pricked up after I heard \u2018Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre<\/strong>\u2019. I don\u2019t reside very close to it however go to each time I hear somebody talking nicely of a stall there. All chameleon-like, I eavesdropped on a dialogue a few stall named Sheng Ji Soya Sauce Chicken Rice\/Noodle<\/strong> final week.<\/p>\n

Two of the aunties had been praising the meals and the opposite was critically towards it. Hmm, that makes for essentially the most attention-grabbing stall visits. After the trio went on their approach, I made a decision to learn up on Sheng Ji Soya Sauce Chicken Rice\/Noodle earlier than going there myself.<\/p>\n

What I learn was promising. The stall had even been described as a \u201chidden gem\u201d, which meant that I merely had<\/em> to attempt it.<\/p>\n

Also, there isn’t a doubt that the crew at Sheng Ji Soya Sauce Chicken Rice\/Noodle works exhausting. Operating 12 hours a day, 5 days every week, they’re within the minority of stalls that stay open for half a day at a stretch.<\/p>\n

\"Sheng

The very subsequent day, I made my strategy to Geylang Bahru Market & Food Centre. It was a wet day, so I wasn\u2019t shocked that there was no queue in entrance of this apparently hotly-discussed stall.<\/p>\n

\"Sheng

I used to be shocked, although, when the particular person consuming cup noodles at a close-by desk turned out to be one of many workers. I suppose you may get sick of consuming the very best meals should you eat it every single day!<\/p>\n

What I attempted at Sheng Ji Soya Sauce Chicken Rice\/Noodle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Sheng

I requested the two girls working there what the gang favorite was. The fast reply was the Soya Sauce Chicken Rice or Noodle (S$3.50\/S$4\/S$5)<\/strong>. (The stall has the identical worth construction for just about every little thing on the menu, from the Chicken Breast Noodles<\/strong> to the Wanton<\/em> Soup <\/strong>to the Fried Chicken Rice<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

I selected the medium S$4<\/em> bowl.<\/p>\n

\"Sheng

Service was affordable\u2014 I received my bowl of noodles and bowl of soup in about 5 minutes. The presentation was fairly good. Almost masking the mattress of yellow noodles, white rooster meat was drizzled with black soya sauce, giving it a white-brown color that contrasted with the deep brown rooster pores and skin.<\/p>\n

Some of the rooster in addition to the aspect of the bowl had been marked pink with the selfmade chilli. To the opposite aspect was a mass of boiled inexperienced greens. In the small window that also revealed the noodles, the springy curls had been darkish with the stain of soya sauce.<\/p>\n

My mouth watered on the sight as my thoughts conjured up a mixture of remembered tastes of every ingredient. Lengths of shallots dressed up yellow-brown the soup in its bowl.<\/p>\n

\"Sheng

The portion of rooster served for S$4<\/em> was beneficiant. Oh, and the meat was tender, too. Unfortunately, I got here throughout too many stray bits of bone as I ate. 1 or 2 are acceptable, I suppose. When you chew on 6 in a single serving, it does appear to be a little bit of over-carelessness.<\/p>\n

That shouldn\u2019t detract from the style, although, and I agree that the mix of rooster, soya sauce and the selfmade chilli was lovely.<\/p>\n

The noodles, alternatively, had been simply common on condition that the strands clumped collectively excessively. I had been wanting ahead to the soup, on condition that the rain had begun pouring down however was let down by the tepid bowl. Flavour-wise, it was acceptable, I suppose, however it\u2019s a bit tough to precisely assess lukewarm soup.<\/p>\n

Final ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"shengji

Although I don\u2019t know anyo\u00ad\u00adne personally who’s a fan of this stall, I’ve seen a few folks proclaim Sheng Ji Soya Sauce Chicken Rice\/Noodle is a \u201chidden gem\u201d. Unfortunately, that wasn\u2019t the case in my expertise.<\/p>\n

With such a powerful benefit from the portion of meat and the way nicely it goes with the soya sauce and chilli, I used to be anticipating my bowl of Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle<\/em> to hit it out of the park. In the top, the bits of bone, temperature of the soup and really common noodle preparation dragged it down.<\/p>\n

Yet, after I suppose again to the two aunties who sounded as in the event that they had been nice followers of this stall, I really feel that there could possibly be one thing that I could have missed. Perhaps, I’ll come on a day when it\u2019s not raining, ask for a unique meal and check out among the add-ons (rooster toes appear to be in style right here).<\/p>\n

That revisit shall be someday quickly, for positive. I may also decrease my expectations based mostly on my first go to. I hope they wow me.<\/p>\n

Expected harm: $3.50 \u2013 $6 per pax<\/em><\/p>\n
