THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE AT CHICKEN RICE SHOP

   27th SEPTEMBER 2026   ~ Someone who was a bit under the weather wanted to get Chicken Rice for dinner. So we drove to Sunway Bigbox Mall, the place where a Chicken Rice Shop was located and would not be crowded even on a weekend.

Chicken Rice

The last time we had Chicken Rice was in a proper restaurant was in Kulai a few months ago, but in a different restaurant [READ HERE].

Chicken #1

Chicken #2

Bean Sprout

Fishball Soup

Everything was alright except the Soup was a bit bland. There was no chicken taste in it, just salty. They should add in more chicken parts in the gravy, or at least more chicken cubes.

Rojak

We had Rojak to complement the lunch set meal for two that we chose.

Pai Tee

The visit to Chicken Rice Shop would not be complete without its Pai Tee, something like Spring Rolls but in a different shape and form.

The gastronomic adventure for the week was done and we now have to think of a place to go for next week.

 

BOYS' DAY OUT FOR LUNCH AND COFFEE

I will never say "no" when someone asks me out for lunch, dinner or any meal outside - when the time is right.

Today, someone who just got married recently [READ HERE], asked me whether I was free for lunch. I quickly agreed and the lunch date was set at Midvalley Mega Mall [in Johor Bahru].

The chosen venue was the Chicken Rice Shop. The host decided to eat rice as had not taken breakfast.

To conclude the day's gastronomic adventure, we then went into a Japanese pastry restaurant called Chateraise, a name I did not even know how to pronounce. It was our first time there and I instantly loved the coffee and scone-like filled with custard pastry. I used to see a long queue outside the shop on weekends.

Thanks to Mr. Muhammad Solihin Ramli [an ex-student of Asrama Semai Bakti FELDA] for still asking me out for lunch even after getting tying the knot. I will, however, have to see how long this will last.

THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE THAT HAPPENED AT THE CHICKEN RICE SHOP

     26th MAY 2023     ~ The early dinner session took place at the Chicken Rice Shop in the Mall of Medini. We were already starving after the visit to Legoland Sealife.

The Chicken Rice Shop would be the place for a complete meal at a reasonable price. My guest seemed to enjoy his dinner a lot.

There was not much to see though at the Mall of Medini. There was nothing new even though the place had been operating for many years already. The nearby Legoland did not seem to boost the business at this mall unfortunately.

THE PLACE I GO FOR THE BEST CHICKEN RICE IN TOWN

5th SEPTEMBER 2020 ~ The place I would go for my craving for Chicken Rice to be sated would be none other than the Chicken Rice Shop [CRS]. It could be because of my lack of adventurous nature to try new eating places but I would always be happy with what were served on the table. Not only the food was delicious, but it was worth the quantity as well as variety - and there were always a lot of soup and vegetables.

There was a meeting planned with Mr. Muhammad Nazafee, an ex-student of SMK Taman Universiti [SPM batch 2017] whom I last met last year in November. As the date was set at Paradigm Mall, there was another ex-student who is currently working in an electrical shop, Mr. Haiqal Johari [SPM 2016] so he was asked to join in for our very late lunch.

It must be our lucky day when we was served an extra plate of rice - definitely not our fault.

Then there was another ex-student of the same school whom I met on my way to the gents, Mr. Chua Soon Heng [SPM batch 2009] and that should make the reunion more complete.

That should be one thing I could do best on a weekend with nothing else to do - eating and meeting people; and I am not complaining.

BOYS' DAY OUT

A date was finally set with Mr. Amirul Husni [SMKTUN's SPM batch 2010] for an outing trip after all the lengthy planning. So we decided to go to Aeon Tebrau City as it is near to my house. Basically what we did were:

(1) watch a movie.

(2) ate dinner at Chicken Rice Shop.

(3) walked around the shopping mall.

(4) went to buy a few things at Aeon Shopping Centre.

Only my second time here and I must confess the chicken rice was really tasty. I don't mind going again.

I even met an old schoolmate from SMS Muar at the restaurant. We had not met since we left school so that must have been 30 years ago.

(5) To conclude the meeting, we had coffee at McD's McCafe at Setia Tropika.

Thanks Mr. Husni for the time and the company. Let's do this again some other time, soon.
