Chinatown hawker — 4 fried chicken wings over chicken rice with cucumber slices, chilli, clear soup. $1.20 off promo at $4.60.
Lunch today: chicken wings meal at a Chinatown hawker, a $1.20-off promo brought it to $4.60. 😋
What was on the plate ($4.60):
- 4 fried chicken wings in a crispy golden batter.
- A chicken rice mound (fragrant golden grain).
- Sliced cucumber on the side.
- A chilli sauce ramekin and a clear chicken broth bowl.
This is unbeatable hawker comfort: fried chicken wings over chicken rice. The wings were crispy and golden outside, juicy within, the kind you eat with your hands. They sit on a mound of proper chicken rice, the grains cooked in chicken stock and a touch of oil so they’re glossy and fragrant on their own, no need for much else. The cucumber adds freshness, the chilli sauce brings the tangy-spicy kick, and the bowl of clear chicken broth rounds it into a complete meal.
What really seals it is the price. With the $1.20-off promo bringing four wings, chicken rice and soup down to just $4.60, this is dream-tier hawker value, the sort of cheap-and-good plate that’s getting harder to find.
Overall: 4.3 / 5. The wings were crispy and juicy, the chicken rice had proper oil and stock fragrance, and at $4.60 with the promo it was a steal. A hawker discount win. 😋👍🏼
