Yong Chai
This shop is actually situated at 5 Coronation Road, beside The Curry Wok, just opposite the Xing Wang restaurant at Coronation Plaza. (That was the address I submitted to Openrice). It has already been in business for many years. The entrance of the eatery was a little narrow, with the dishes displayed on a glass cabinet on the left. There was a small air-condition sitting area at the hindside of the shop. Their signature dish is chicken rice. They have other side dishes like 'Cai Fan'.
This day, I ordered a plate of chicken rice with added bitter gourd and a cup of coffee. Total cost was $4.50. A very elderly man with shaky hand brought me my plate of chicken rice. I was so afraid that he might drop the plate. Then a very elderly woman served me my coffee. To me, the pair looked like the parents of the seller, or might even be the one to pass down the business.
I was so eager to eat my food that I had forgotten to snap a picture of it first. The rice itself was so fragrant and delicious that you could even eat it by itself. By the time I realised that I didn't take a photo, the rice was almost gone, only the chicken and bitter gourd left, as shown on my photo.
The gourd was well-cooked, not bitter at all.

Really delicious, worth a try.
It could be quite packed during lunch.
