Nam Kee Chicken Rice

Our friends' dog went in a routine check at the clinic. We went to kaypoh and lend emotional support. It was a 7.30pm appointment. None of us minded figuring out dinner around the appointment. 

The best part about this vet clinic at Upper Thomson Road is that it's sited next to Ming's Pub. It was a rainy evening, so nobody wanted to traipse far and get soaked. The dogs wouldn't like it. At this venue, people who wanted to drink, simply stepped in next door to Ming's Pub to have a Guinness. 

After the vet appointment was concluded, it was dinner time. We didn't mind a pint of Guinness either. But we needed dinner. So Ming's has no issues with us ordering in food from the eateries along the stretch. Of course we opted for Nam Kee Chicken Rice! Hahaha. It has been a long time since any of us had it. And no, chicken rice doesn't all taste the same. 

The table sent me to order. They were hungry but I knew they wouldn't need that much food. A whole chicken plus two side dishes (including one veggie) would do it. I didn't even order two bowls of rice. I ordered one portion. These people aren't rice eaters, especially not at dinner. So one portion of tasty chicken rice fed us all nicely. 

Ordered a steamed chicken with skin, some sort of tofu, choi sum, and hae zhor (crispy prawn rolls). I only wanted the vegetables, a bit of tofu, a wee bit of meat and a lot of chicken skin. 

The kitchen was closing up and in a happy sort of mood. They fried up our liver and gizzard in sambal. Wahhh! So nice of them lah. It was so tasty, especially with the chilled Guinness. Kekekekekke. We couldn't finish a whole chicken, so the rest was packed home for the friends' meals the next day.
