Update: Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle Rice has shifted two units down along the same row with a new signboard. New stall photo and unit number has been updated at the bottom of this post.

Just a few doors away from Hambaobao is this stall called Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Noodle Rice (what a mouthful!) selling what else, but soya sauce chicken with either noodles, rice or hor fun. Do not confuse this with (*takes a deep breathe*) Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle, the Michelin-starred stall at 335 Smith Street which has since been rebranded as "Liao Fan".

The latter is my favorite but have become quite impossible to eat with the insane queue ever since it received the award. I had to turn to other alternatives like Ma Li Ya Virgin Chicken and Fatty Ox in order to have my soya sauce chicken cravings fixed.

This stall at Beauty World Food Centre is my latest find, and the nearest to me without having to go all the way to Chinatown where all my alternatives are located at. Other than soya sauce chicken noodle, they also sell the usual wanton noodle, dumpling noodle and beef brisket noodle.

Strangely, glutinous rice, chee cheong fun and yam cake are also available here.

I initially just wanted a "normal" plate of soya sauce chicken noodle with no specified chicken parts (even if they give me chicken breast, I am also happy) but after queuing for about 40 minutes, I decided to order a drumstick instead to justify the long wait. I would have ordered half a bird if I can finish it alone but obviously I could not.

The queue is not that long actually but someone in front just had to order for the whole village thus it took a while to reach my turn.

My first impression of the drumstick on my noodles ($4) is that it look very succulent. Taking a bite of the fleshy chicken thigh, I find it very tender indeed and well-marinated. I especially love the skin which has a nice aroma to it.

On the other hand, the noodles were tossed in a sweet and savory lor-like gravy which is pretty tasty. However, the texture of the noodles were a little lumpy and not as springy as I like.

It is my first time patronizing this stall so I hope it is only a one-time mishap. Nonetheless, the chicken here is a convenient alternative to Liao Fan's when you have the craving for soya sauce chicken but not willing to queue hours for it.
