Sim Lim Square isn’t just home to tech shops—it’s also where two legendary salted egg chicken rice stalls are situated. We covered the first of these, 3 Meals a Day, in a previous article, and will now discuss the other stall, which is simply named Taste Good.
Of course, the close proximity of these stalls invites plenty of comparison between the two. Some, such as Google user Andrew Yin, believe that 3 Meals a Day offers a more flavourful salted egg sauce, while others including Setiawaty Lukman suggest that the chicken at Taste Good is juicier and chunker. It seems to be a rather close fight.

A plate of Salted Egg Chicken w/ Rice at Taste Good will set you back $6. Fans of the stall have praised its wonderfully fragrant and savoury salted egg sauce, which also has a decent spicy kick. This sauce drenches the succulent pieces of chicken, which are fried till wonderfully crispy. If you prefer pork ribs, go for the Salted Egg Pork Ribs w/ Rice ($6.50) instead.

Those looking for a milkier rendition can opt for the Butter Chicken w/ Rice ($6.50). This dish also features fried chicken pieces, but they’re slathered with an addictive buttery sauce instead of salted egg yolk.
There are a few other rice dishes worth checking out at Taste Good, too. The Dried Chilli Chicken w/ Rice ($6) is great for those looking for more piquant flavours, while the Ginger Onion Pork /w Rice ($6) is one of the more homely options on the menu. But if it’s your first time at Taste Good, make sure you give their salted egg chicken rice a shot first.
