Chicken/Duck Rice @ Sungai Wang Coffeeshop,Fettes Park

This fella used to be so expensive,serving slivers of scraps for meat together with tiny portions of rice.His food though quite good would suffer in quality the longer it hung out on the rack.What you ate at 1pm will be drier,tougher and saltier if you order it at 3pm.
He is aided by a tough plain village woman looking wife endowed with a voice so shrill that she could pop open canned sardines just by exercising her vocals alone.
When a competitor Xing Lam Fatt opened next door,his shop was most times empty.See the guy next door cleverly gave bigger portions of meat and generous portions of rice.Then one day many people suspiciously kena food poisoning so they rushed back to him and the next door became ghostly quiet.It took quite a few months before the taller,skinny,fella won back customer confidence.
Aided by an equally ugly wife?mother?who would fit right in with a chinese opera troupe if she ever flaunts her scary tatooed brows, he(it's not he who is ugly,Imma comparing the competiting ladies) joined the bandwagon and likewise grew increasingly expensive over time.
Nowadays both have their own following.But with CNY round the corner,this Sungai Wang kopitiam has become so dare to chop wanna die ah,he can give the nasi minang in transfer road a fight for overcharging.
Comparatively though,price for price the champion butcher that scalps our wallets is still the duck rice in the old Star hotel on carnavon st.

That's where you should head to if you intend to slop up diamond rice grains and gold dust meat.
