Anyway the place I am talking about is just two doors from Nam Heong. It's an old, dingy looking shop with no decor whatsoever. I was told that the old man used to work for Nam Heong. It is one of those chicken rice places that still serves chicken insides. Not only do they have chicken liver and gizzards, they also have chicken intestines. (Most chicken rice shops do not serve intestines as they are too lazy to wash and prepare them.)
As usual ordered chicken for two, a small bowl of pork balls and Spicy & sour vegetables. Note: This is one of the last remaining chicken rice shops that serve your rice in a bowl.
Rice is meant to be cooked this way.
One thing about this place is that the chicken is done perfectly. Honestly I cannot stand the sight of blood in my chicken which you do get in other places. 白切雞 or "white chicken" is an art form. You just do not dip the entire
chicken into the soup to cook it.
You mean't to "shower" it slowly with the hot soup, basically bathing it like a
baby. It then cooks the bird gently and in return the results are a tender and juicy
chicken.

Perfectly cooked chicken which was juicy and succulent. They do not drown the birds in soya sauce
but where are the spring onions?
The pork balls are just very normal pork balls which I will not waste too much
time talking about it. Not too good and not bad either.

The pork balls were of decent size but where is my spring onions and coriander?

All in all, this old shop is a good place for lunch and my craving for chicken
rice. My suggestion is go there soon before the old folks in there retire.
