Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge

During the weekends, Ted & me visited the Eastern part of Singapore, Joo Chiat area this time. Joo Chiat is known for its Peranakan and rustic ambience and of course, a popular haunt among foodies! If you would have known, there is the famous “Fei Fei Wanton Noodle” stall in one of the coffeeshops in Joo Chiat,a favourite breakfast spot especially over the weekends. So we headed there. But no, we are not trying the wanton noodles there. In case you still do not know, in this coffeeshop, there is another stall that serves mouthwatering chicken rice and porridge!! So this time we are going to try this.

Its called the Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge stall. The business for this stall is so good that it operates only on half day. By noon, all the chicken would have already been sold out. When you are there, don’t forget to try the chicken drumstick rice set (S$3.50) – which is the best I have ever tried so far! This set usually gets sold out first while the rest of the chicken parts remain to be sold off slowly over time… Their chicken is so soft and tender and smells of the alluring sesame seed oil aroma. Really good!

Oh and there is also the very fragrant chicken rice which seems to be a very special type of short chopped rice grains. You really got to try the rice. It smells so good and cooked just nicely soft that it goes so well with the chicken. Eaten together with their specially made ginger chilli and the dark soya sauce, the chicken rice is just ultimate!

The pork and chicken porridge sold by the stall is worth recommending too. The porridge must have been cooked for very long as it is very smooth in texture. It also comes served with a fresh egg on top. Look at the top picture!

Rong Ji Chicken Rice & Porridge stall is located inside the Sin Wah Coffee Shop, Joo Chiat Road, Singapore. For your information, just beside the coffeeshop is the famous "Kim Choo Nonya Chang (Dumpling)". Do pick up some ba-changs (dumplings) while you are there too!
