Eng Kee Fried Chicken Wings 荣记炸鸡翅膀

Just a stone throw distance from the awesome green bean soup Picky Girlfriend has recommended,  now it's Fussy Boyfriend's turn to recommend yummy food.

Another prepared-to-queue store, this time round a stall which specialises on Fried Chicken Wings! With other similar items sold for economic bee hoon such as cabbage, sausages, fish fillet, otah etc etc.

Picky Girlfriend is a fan of economic bee hoon and since this place is well known for chicken wings so we definitely have to try it!



The queue took about 10 mins, customers were served fast and chicken wings get run out pretty fast too. So chances are that you may need to wait a little while for the wings.. but on the hindsight this also means freshly fried wings!

Our orders!

Picky girlfriend usually will order a mixture (noodles and bee hoon) whereas Fussy Boyfriend will go with bee hoon only? How do you like to order your economic bee hoon? :)

The bee hoon was nothing to rave about but the wings tasted awesome! If we have a choice and dont mind doing the extra walking (since both are located at Commonwealth area, we will: buy the wings from Eng Kee and the bee hoon from Piao Xiang Xiao Chi   which will make it a perfect combination! :D

A closer shot of the super crispy and well marinated wings!! The chilli sauce that came with it was a must try as well. Fogotten to take pic but do remember the chilli sauce which is like a sweet and sour chilli sauce. A good dip for the wings!


 























This was the 2nd occasion we bought the chicken wings to a friend's place. No proper photography gear but can't help but to take this picture with our phone (so apologies for the pixelised picture). But TEN chicken wings = Awesomeness! The store owner also had a way of arranging the wings, so all drumlets are placed as the base with the wings on top.

 

















Both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend rating for fried chicken wings: 4.25/5

 A little late but still, Happy 2013 to all food collagers! Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend managed to catch the awesome fireworks at Marina Bay area. The view was worth it despite the packed like sardine crowds.

And apologies for the long hiatus in our food blog, our camera was also giving us some problems so the pictures quality of some of the food pictures may be affected. Below pictures purely shot by our new digital camera! (Hopefully the food still looks as good as it tasted!)

Picky girlfriend is a fan of economic bee hoon stores where you get to choose your main staple plus a variety of add-on ingredients. Always a choice for breakfast when everything fails and it's Picky Girlfriend's comfort food.

So when we chanced upon this store while finding dinner options nearby our office area and boy! the queue was loooong! And to our surprise it was an evening store selling economic bee hoon! The idea of an evening store selling economic bee hoon was quite new to us, as the perception is either for breakfast or the franchise stores which open for the whole day.




And yes you've guessed it right! We joined in the queue :)







Fussy boyfriend ordered the following dishes: Egg, cabbage and chicken wings!

We love how the egg is done as the yolk is still runny and cabbage is really soft! Picky girlfriend will usually burst the yolk and spread around the bee hoon, while Fussy Boyfriend will eat the egg whites and leave the yolk to the last and savour them in a mouthful! Interesting observation: How do you eat your egg? :)

The chicken wings was well marinated and very very crispy! Believe chicken wings was one of the popular items so the supply get refilled pretty much fast. No worries about eating cold chicken wings, as each of them will be piping hot!

The highlight of the whole dish was surprisingly the bee hoon itself!  Simple looking, no additional ingredients yet the bee hoon tasted so fragrant and yummy! Usually economic bee hoon will have to be accompanied by lots of chilli sauce, but this bee hoon is a winner. SO tasty even on its own! this explains the queue and definitely worth queuing for it.

Other items which are sold included traditional desserts as green/red bean soup, porridge and also glutinous rice. We tried the green bean soup on a separate occasion and it tasted great too! Very homely and traditional bowl of dessert :)

Both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend rating for economic bee hoon: 4.5/5

Worth trying, worth queuing! One of the best economic bee hoon we have tried so far. Open from evening onwards only!
