Since the last time I tried the food at Hill Street Coffeeshop which wasn't fantastic, I thought I should similarly give a shot at its neighbour - Ipoh Lou Yau Bean Sprouts Chicken. A thorough disappointment! The "yellow" chicken hanging at the stall had fooled me into thinkin it was the fragrant "Yellow Oil Chicken" (or was it so?) that I so loved. However, what was served to me was really chicken w/o the skin!!! They didn't even ask whether I wanted the skin or not!!! The chicken meat was n
Since the last time I tried the food at Hill Street Coffeeshop which wasn't fantastic, I thought I should similarly give a shot at its neighbour - Ipoh Lou Yau Bean Sprouts Chicken. A thorough disappointment! The "yellow" chicken hanging at the stall had fooled me into thinkin it was the fragrant "Yellow Oil Chicken" (or was it so?) that I so loved. However, what was served to me was really chicken w/o the skin!!! They didn't even ask whether I wanted the skin or not!!! The chicken meat was not at all fantastic, tender yes, but not the best I've eaten since there was no shout to its taste.
What added to my disappointment was the part on "Bean Sprouts". I had thought that the chicken dish would be special, like there would be bean sprouts from within the chicken etc. Turned out the chicken was served on a bed of bean sprouts! That's it! That's my surprise! What made it worse was that the bean sprouts were not thoroughly cooked! I could still taste the raw-ness in some of them.
Perhaps my expectations were high, then let's talk about the serving. Bean sprouts - fine if they were meant to be served as a "bed", but really, how much do they cost anyway? Can't they be served more graciously, like in a big bowl, so that there is some redeeming grace? Then, look at the serving of hor fun. My goodness! An average man would have slurped it all up in 2 or 3 mouths. At the end of the meal, I don't even feel like I've already eaten! And how much does hor fun cost???
So, food not particularly delicious, eat also not full, how to give a decent review for them? I can't understand the crowd there really. Does ambience of the old days really that appealing, in spite of poor food?
Visit again? No way!

1-Pax Set (Chicken + Bean Sprouts + Soup) - $6.90
