What about mee pok?

Hey i don't eat chicken rice every day for every meal... i'm fine with mee pok... good tasting mee pok is also a pleasure to have...

So what makes a good plate of chicken rice?

Firstly, chicken rice can be separated into four components: the chicken, the rice and cucumber, the soup and the chili.
The chicken meat, be it fried or white, must be firm and never ever come in cube forms. Meat cubes totally ruin everything. Hence, the cut of the meat is very important. The chicken meat should also be boneless. A great dining experience should never be disrupted by such trivialities like bones, esp if they are chipped. The chicken skin also adds to the flavour of the whole dish and should not be absent. It must be slightly crispy (if fried) and should taste a bit fatty (although the fats should not be conspicuous). The best chicken skin should have a certain thickness to it.
Now, about the rice, it should at the very least, be fragrant and soaked in chicken oil. The cucumber, should be crunchy and never appear soaked. A few pieces of cucumber would do.
The soup should not be overly MSG laden or oily and it should serve to complement the chicken rice.
Lastly, the chili should be home made, with fresh chili and vinegar. Moderately spicy, it should not drown the taste of the chicken rice. The best chicken rice also comes along with soy sauce together with the chili, esp if the chicken in question is white.

*Yawns* I see that you are pretty particular about your plate of chicken
rice. So, where can we find the best and worst chicken rice?

Sad to say but both the best and worst chicken rice i've eaten so far have closed down. The best chicken rice got to be the one served by Mouth restaurant at jurong point in boon lay. The worst has got to be the one served by one of the stalls in the marine parade hawker centre.
