The jam on the CTE was unusually massive and G and I was getting rather fidgety in our seats. So when the Moulment exit finally crawled into view, I figured we could exit now and shave a good 20 minutes off our journey home. Turns out, we got distracted and got home 50 minutes later; half a chicken and three bowls of rice fuller...
The revisit to Boon Tong Kee was a pleasant surprise as I hadn’t realized they had renovated and air-conditioned one section of their restaurant. This clearly was a winning point with the customers judging from the full-house seating and a forming queue on a mid-week night.
We ordered a couple of other signatures along with our chicken drumsticks.
I liked the tofu, light and crispy on the outside, soft and fresh on the inside. G preferred the pork ribs, which I found a little too intense and salty for my liking.

During our meal, G commented that I was returning to my Hainan roots with my recent tasting of “Boah” – a Hainanese coconut and peanut dessert, and my new constant carving for Scissors-Cut Curry rice and Western food, the latest visit to Shaslik and now Chicken rice for dinner. My granddad will be proud.
