Recently, I made plans to meet a friend for lunch at the famous hawker centre on Old Airport Road, but after traveling cross-country to the East, it seems that fate - and Murphy's Law - has other plans... Damnit!

Because he has lived in the area for little over a year now, he recommended several other food places - all of which have stellar reputations - and so off we go.
We (Okay, I) decided on Boon Tong Kee for lunch when we walked past the chicken rice
We ordered Half Chicken, alongside with two bowls of rice. The rice is slick with chicken oil, fragrant and sinful. But that's what we're here for. But the chicken is ... wait for it ... cold. Cold like it's been taken straight out of the fridge and immediately served. Or, more likely, like the air-conditioner has been blowing directly at the chicken since morning. The chicken sauce is fragrant, and the chicken is tender. But I must be missing something, because I don't get why they would serve cold chicken.
We also had a plate of Kang Kong. I'm really bad with spicy food, but I thought the cook could have used a bit more chili.
The Verdict
Rice was fragrant. But why is the chicken cold?
