油鸡河粉 (soy sauce chicken hor fun) at a Chinatown hawker ($4.50)!
Soy sauce chicken hor fun (油鸡河粉) at a Chinatown hawker stall — silky flat rice noodles, sliced soy chicken, blanched choy sum and a side bowl of clear soup. $4.50.
Office lunch fix at a Chinatown soy chicken stall — went for the 油鸡河粉 (soy sauce chicken hor fun) at $4.50. Old-school Cantonese comfort. 😋
What was on the plate ($4.50):
- A generous pile of flat hor fun (rice noodles) — silky, slippery, dressed in a savoury soy-based sauce with a hint of sweetness.
- Sliced soy sauce chicken (油鸡) — that lacquered dark caramelised skin, tender meat underneath, fanned across the centre of the plate.
- Blanched choy sum tucked at the side for the green.
- A side bowl of clear chicken soup with a few scallion bits floating — light, slightly peppery, perfect to alternate with the noodles.
Mixed the noodles thoroughly to coat every strand. The soy chicken had that signature five-spice fragrance and the skin was thin but flavour-packed.
Total: $4.50. Hawker-priced bowl of Cantonese classic.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. Reliable old-school soy chicken plate — the noodles were properly silky and the chicken was tender, not dry. A solid lunchtime go-to. 😍👍🏼
