Fatty Chicken Rice

My family and I took a drive to Sri Kembangan to have chicken rice at this place called Fatty Chicken Rice. Well, the name says it all... The owner is a big fat guy and the chicken were all big and fat too. The difficult part about having your meal there will be getting a carpark for yourself. We normaly spend alot of time waiting and hunting for a carpark lot but we were rather lucky today as there was one available parking spot right in front of the restaurant for us as we arrived. Don't worry about the heat there as they have an airconditioned dining area too.

We ordered 1/2 roasted chicken and 1/2 steamed chicken. And also including 3 double boiled soups and 1 plate of bean sprouts "Tau Geh". After taking our orders, they returned to us within a few minutes admitting that they are short of a chicken thigh for the steamed chicken. So we decided to changed our order to a whole full roasted chicken instead. I like the honesty in them as they didn't try to cheat us. Other places would have just shut the hell up and serve us as we ordered with short of a chicken thigh hoping that we never noticed.

The 3 soups arrived first... They consists of a spinach soup, ginseng black chicken soup and a "Yuk Chuk" chicken soup. The soups were wonderful... We drank every single last drop from it except the meat. Due to being boiled overnight, all the nutrients from the meat has gone into the soup hence makes the meat tasteless and dry. But hey! That's double boiled soup for you :)




Then there came the chicken and the bean sprouts. Their chicken are special as they only use free range chicken also known as "Choi Yin Kai" in Cantonese. Funny thing, they are extremely huge for a free range chicken. Although the chicken is roasted, they managed to keep its juicyness of the meat. These all depends on the chef's "Kung Fu" skills of cooking. Unlike other chicken rice stalls who uses normal cucumber as a condiment for the chicken, this place uses pickled cucumbers instead. Crunchy and soury, just makes it more appetizing. The bean sprouts weren't so salty as they used marginal amount of soya sauce and sprinkled with lots of fried shallots. Mmmm... A perfect combination.

I particularly love their rice... It's very fragrant and not so oily as they use shallot oil to cook the rice. Most other chicken rice stalls uses margarine to cook the rice... That's why the rice turns out in bright yellow colour and this is very unhealthy. They use margarine because it's less troublesome and costs much cheaper than shallot oil. In case you do not know, margarine is made of hydrogenated palm oil which is very very high in saturated fat. Cheaper margarines are made of all sorts of chemicals and the most common ones sold in Malaysia are made from petroleum. V-Power for your tummy! Vroom! Vroom! :)

Amazingly after a big meal, it only cost us RM58.40 for everything including our drinks. Talk about eating cheap, you should try this place out if you don't mind the distance.
