Ginseng for the soul
2013-09-29 150 views
This was ginseng chicken soup for the soul. I came here drenched on a rainy afternoon with my dad looking for some soup to warm ourselves...and I guess it didn't take long for us to decide on this.for $25 we got ourselves a bubbling pot of goodness.there was a lot of chicken in this. But i guess that would be just about right for the price. it came with wolfberries and red dates and it didn't have a strong taste of ginseng. just a hint of it. we also grabbed a plate of mee sua and some mushrooms

 for $25 we got ourselves a bubbling pot of goodness.

there was a lot of chicken in this. But i guess that would be just about right for the price.

it came with wolfberries and red dates and it didn't have a strong taste of ginseng. just a hint of it.

we also grabbed a plate of mee sua and some mushrooms and beancurd sheets to boil in the soup.

feel free to ask for soup refills.

back to try their signature chicken pot. i don't know what the XO is about but there was a strong numbing taste about it which might have come from the chinese wines added for the 10-hour preparations.this was a medium $15 pot that came with delightfully braised celery, onions and garlic topped with ginger slices and sprigs of spring onions. of course there were those delightfully succulent pieces of chicken.

 this was a medium $15 pot that came with delightfully braised celery, onions and garlic topped with ginger slices and sprigs of spring onions. of course there were those delightfully succulent pieces of chicken.

What's there to do with all the gravy? Get more sides to dunk in. Dad grabbed two different kinds of mushroom and a plate of beancurd sheets. these go at 3 for $5.

And we also had plain rice at $1 a bowl.

It was very filling but oh so addictive. although i wish there was something that could be done about the numbing aftertaste of the gravy.

Coming here without a decision on what to eat is my biggest nightmare. Cheong Chin Nam Road is a stretch full of different cuisines.

 At just $3.80 on promotion (add a dollar for the usual price), this was surprisingly generous.

Or perhaps it's just the many different toppings on the rice that made it seem so.

Half a hardboiled egg, braised tofu puff, stewed peanuts, salted vegetable ends and braised pork of course.

The peanuts had a sticky sweet sauce that I didn't fancy much.

But otherwise, I loved my deliciously satisfying lunch choice.

Will visit again, as the service is really 2 thumbs up... but the price is a bit too high.
Total spent on the food mentioned was $$70... with wet tissue at $0.30/pc.

I came here for dinner with a friend, and we ordered the famous chicken pot. We ordered a small pot of chicken and two small rice to go with it.

When the pot was served, you can see thick gravy and plenty of chicken in it. Soup will be added to the chicken and we boiled our vegetables in it. Soup was dark in colour with nice aroma.

We were allowed to choose two free side dish, so we chose two type of vegetables. The chicken pot was served like steamboat style. When the pot was served, you can see thick gravy and plenty of chicken in it. Soup will be added to the chicken and we boiled our vegetables in it. Soup was dark in colour with nice aroma. Boiling vegetables in the pot full of chicken essence gave the vegetables it's full taste! Sweet and tasty! We enjoyed our dinner! If you are a small eater, the small pot is good enough for 3 persons!
