Ho seh man! Lim peh has found the best chicken rice in town!

Last time Ah Fatt cannot find nice chicken rice. Outside hawker centre sell $3.50 to $4, wa lau eh, either rice too oily or chicken too hard or chilli boh spicy one. Mandarin Hotel's Chatterbox even better - $18 for one plate, which comes with a clear soup with few bits of tofu and 3 different sauces. It wasn't so bad, until the chef got sacked by the hotel. Ta ma de. Now the chef plan to open up his own stall and sell the chicken rice at cheap cheap price, though the size will be small small one.

Until he sets up his stall, there won't be any more good chicken rice, I thought. That was before I went to my grandmother's house yesterday.

Chinese New Year around the corner mah, so I decided to visit my grandparents. I don't know what my Ah Ma was cookin until she served the food to us. Wa seh, it's chicken rice and it smelt damn bloody good.

I immediately tucked into the fragrant rice which was cooked with fresh chicken stock and oil. The meat was damn soft and tender, it like melted in my mouth lor. And my Ah Ma was the best with her chilli sauce, even Ahmad's nasi lemak's sambal cannot compete.

I finished my food without leaving behind any scrap. Licking my lips clean, I thanked my Ah Ma for the wonderful dinner and suggested she open up a stall.




My Ah Ma.






"No need lah," she said. "I old alledi."

But after much persuasion from her grandson, she agreed to start a business.

So all you people out there, if you die die want to eat the best chicken rice, I suggest you drop by BLK 493 Toa Payoh Ave 4 #03-56. Ring the doorbell and be patient because my Ah Ma is slow in her movement. The chicken rice is free, although you will have to help out with some of the household chores first, because she is too old to manage by herself.




My Ah Ma's house is somewhere here.




Rotters International wishes to apologize for Ah Fatt's poor command of the English language. He is trying his best to improve and has shown remarkable achievements in sentence structuring recently. One must remember that Ah Fatt comes from a Chinese-speaking family and only received English education when he was in Sec 3, hence he nearly failed his GCE'O' Levels. But thanks to his friend's help during the examinations, he scraped through. He currently covers local stories with local flavour, under the title 'chee-bye singapore correspondent'.
