While checking out the stalls at Taman Jurong Market & Food Centre, I could not help but notice the rows of soy sauce chicken beckoning to me from behind the glass display at De Ji Hong Kong Soy Sauce Chicken.

I stopped in my tracks and took a moment to worship the chickens whose skin glistens under the caress of the warm spotlights. For just $3, you could have your soy sauce chicken with either rice or noodle.

I opted for the $4 soy sauce chicken with noodle.

I was awed by the sight of the chicken leg on top of the noodle. It had a alluring color and glaze from the soy sauce. Served with a side of chye sim and a bowl of soup, this is clearly a winner at just $4.

My chicken leg is as succulent as it looks.

The texture is moist and tender as the meat is just cooked through. The very thin layer of skin emits a nice soy aroma that is both fragrant and sweet.

The springy noodle is tossed in a sauce with a subtle savoriness that pleases my palate. The chili, in particular, possesses a umami flavor that elevates the taste of the noodle.

Service here is prompt and efficient but perhaps that is because I arrived just before the lunch crowd does.
