For $7, you can enjoy a plate of the stall’s famous Creamy Salted Egg Chicken Rice. This dish features crispy fried chicken pieces that remain tender and juicy inside, generously coated in a rich salted egg yolk sauce. The sauce is packed with savoury goodness and has a subtle spicy kick. Served alongside are fluffy white rice, a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg, and a crunchy side of keropok to complete the meal.
