evertop chicken rice

clementi has changed so much! i had a good friend in primary school who stayed at clementi avenue two and we always went to her house before heading for track and field in the afternoon. just yesterday, one of my colleagues brought me there for some halal chicken rice and the landscape has since differed.



you can spot evertop chicken rice as you turn into the carpark. the shop also bought over the space next door which doubles as a drink stall. once there, you can many framed up acclamations by newspapers.



we didn't have to wait long for the food at all. in fact, it arrived almost immediately. among the five of us, we ordered individual plates of hainanese chicken rice (same price if we shared), thai style tofu, ngoh hiang, braised eggs, sambal kang kong and fried dough fritters. everything amounted to $33.50.

i found the sambal kang kong superb, the taste of the chilli paste and dried shrimp came through.
also, the dough fritters were good too, not too oily and went well with the salad dressing. everyone polished off the tofu and ngoh hiang. we didn't finish the braised egg.


the portion of the chicken was a bit small but it was smooth and the acar at the side, crunchy, sweet and sour. according to D, there is a better stall off queensway, but he wasn't sure if it was halal. he mentioned that they even have a picture of the president dining there.


there was one interesting thing there. you could only order drinks after ordering the food! the three of us were waiting there for our colleagues to arrive and they didn't ask us what we wanted to drink. it was only until we ordered our food at the food counter that they passed us the drink menu! i tried morning sunrise, which was a smoothie of sorts of orange, apricot and peach. it was delicious! the rest ordered canned drinks and iced milo, which was a dollar plus.

i'll bring my family to try the chicken rice soon and see what they think about it :)
