A while ago, Fiie’s Cafe at Lucky Plaza received a slew of one-star Google reviews. Customers complained that the owner, AKA “Mr Grumpy” was rude and they had received a scolding while ordering a plate of the nasi ayam goreng, otherwise known as fried chicken with rice. Yet, that did not stop people from visiting the stall. Today, the eatery has become so popular that they are opening a third outlet in Holland Drive following the recent opening of their second outlet in Toa Payoh.

The stall makes a mean Signature Nasi Ayam. For $6.50, you get either a fried chicken thigh or breast served with rice, cucumber slices, housemade sambal, and a bowl of mee soto broth.

Their chicken is said to have a turmeric-forward marinade, making it super aromatic. The deep-fried chicken skin also gives it a nice crispiness in every bite. The rice is topped with bits of the fried batter, giving an extra crunch on top of the fried chicken.

For $1, you get sides to go with your chicken too! Famous sides include the Begedel and Sambal Quail Egg. For the adventurous, you can get the Chicken Liver or Gizzard for an added chew. When I went there personally, I liked their quail eggs for how the sweet and spicy sambal flavours seeped into the egg whites.
