Mat Noh & Rose Review: Muslim-Owned Ginger Fried Chicken Rice At Whampoa Market

Muslim-Owned Ginger Fried Chicken Rice At Whampoa Market | Mat Noh & Rose Food at Mat Noh & Rose Feeling greedy, I ordered their Ginger Fried Chicken Leg with Rice ($6.50) instead of their regular Ginger Fried Chicken Rice ($3.50) , and added tofu ($0.50) , chicken skin ($1) and bean sprouts ($1) . The hawker stall aunty began chopping away and I licked my lips as she poured crumbs all over.

She served me a large, indulgent portion of ginger fried chicken, a plate of chicken rice, slices of cucumber, the additional elements and a small bowl of soup. Its crispiness pleased me and the ginger savour was strong but not pungent.

To my delight, it wasn’t greasy and I was thrilled with my choice. The skins are often accompanied by chicken giblets that go at a minimum of $2. I was a little disappointed when I found that most parts of the chicken leg contained bones.

The chicken was tender on the inside and incredibly crispy on the outside. Compared to the chicken skin, the ginger wasn’t as flavourful here.

Nonetheless, it paired well with the crispy skin and crumbs that were absolutely lip-smacking. The competition of chicken rice is strong, but Mat Noh & Rose’s chicken rice levelled up the game.

The fried tofu was soft and silky on the inside, like the typical tofu in an ayam penyet. Mat Noh & Rose serves two types of chilli – one that’s sweet yet tangy, and soy sauce chilli that’s thick and fiery. I drizzled the thick, black and spicy sauce all over my rice and my stomach was pleased.

Ambience at Mat Noh & Rose Mat Noh & Rose is located at the far end of Whampoa Market. The verdict Mat Noh & Rose truly knows how to cook up a scrumptious meal fit for the kings.

In terms of quality, quantity and price, this stall wins many chicken rice stalls hands down. This exceptional place is definitely worth driving down for even if you’re not having chicken rice cravings. If you’re a lazy eater like me, opt for their regular chicken rice for a tender, juicy and boneless serving of chicken breast.
