REALLY GOOD
2nd HALF-BAKED HARVEST’S JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN WITH CREAMED CORN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Remote culinary vacationing in the southwest (at least in my imagination 😹) with this scrumpdillyicious repast of “lightly breaded chicken stuffed with creamy jalapeño cheddar dip, seared until golden, and topped with even more cheddar and jalapeños” + Mexican style creamed corn to round out the experience. Also my first time preparing chicken for stuffing. The first fillet involved a clumsy attempt to create a pocket until I tried bluntly dissecting through the middle with kitchen scissors…and voila! Whole pockets of dead space opened up for all the cream cheese one could want to stuff (or pack?) and not have to suture back. Who knew that what little vet surgical skills I retained from my past life would come in handy on this occasion? The irony!😸
4th TENDER ITALIAN BAKED CHICKEN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Used bread crumbs and an Italian seasoning, both of which I created from scratch.
5th ROASTED CHICKEN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
This was really tasty, thanks to an overnight soak in a kicap manis-based spicy marinade.
6th CHICKEN RICE CHICKEN
Ah Tai Chicken Rice, Singapore
Juicy chicken rice chicken from Tian Tian’s master chef of 20 years.
7th 烟焗茶皇鸡 SMOKED KAMPONG CHICKEN
Wah Lok, Singapore
Chicken was tender and perfectly smoked.
8th YUZU PEPPER CHICKEN SKIN CHIPS
Sumo Bar Happy, Singapore
“Nori-wrapped chicken skin chips, tossed in a house-blend of yuzu and pepper spice, served with sour cream, chives and shio konbu.” I’m not sure I tasted yuzu, but they were very tasty.
PRETTY GOOD
9th AYAM MADURA
WARTEK, Petaling Jaya
I thought I’d placed an order for the duck but it looks like they served us chicken instead 😏 It was drier than I would’ve liked but thankfully the accompanying sambals saved it.
10th CRISPY SESAME CHICKEN
Golden Harbor Authentic Chinese Cuisine, Champaign

11th 四川辣子鸡丁 SAUTÉED DICED CHICKEN WITH DRIED FLOWER CHILLI IN SZECHUAN STYLE
Dragon-i Restaurant Sdn Bhd (Komtar), Johor Bahru
This is a Szechuan delicacy based on extensive use of Chinese pepper, chili padi and dried chili. Tender cubes of deboned chicken thighs are sautéed with chili oil, and then tossed with Chinese peppers, chili padi and dried chilis for that distinctive hot, spicy taste. Didn’t burn my tongue though.
12th ALMUERZO
Estancia Nibepo Aike, Santa Cruz Province
I think(?) this was chicken with mash.
13th 妈味鸡 MARMITE CHICKEN
Keng Eng Kee Seafood, Singapore
Think they put a lot of honey in this. Could barely taste the marmite. Probably a good thing.
14th SOUS VIDE BABY CHICKEN
Tin Hill Social, Singapore
Twice Cooked, Caramelised Shallot, Truss Tomatoes, Parsley Pistu, Jus
18th AYAM BAKAR
Gurame Indonesian Restaurant, Singapore
flame-grilled chicken, with a mild chilli sauce
20th TORI NEGI CHEESE
720 Bistro & The Toys, Singapore
Was told it was pizza. But this was more an oven-baked dish of batter-fried chicken boneless pieces and melted mozzarella. Not bad.
21st AYAM BUAH KELUAK
Dulukala, Singapore
Chicken and buah keluak (a black Indonesian nut) in tamarind sauce.
23rd GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN 左宗棠鸡
Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen, Singapore
Deep-fried chicken nuggets in a robust tangy and spicy sauce. My first time eating these outside the U.S., except these are 1.5X the price for ~ half the amount, LOL.
24th SOYA SAUCE CHICKEN WITH OSMANTHUS 桂花头抽䜴油鸡
Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen, Singapore
The classic, accentuated with osmanthus-infused soya sauce and osmanthus honey. It was unsettlingly sweet.
26th AYAM PENYET
Rusnah Cafe, Singapore
Today’s special. Chicken was a bit dry but overall, a satisfying meal.
28th MISO CHICKEN 鶏肉の甘辛味噌焼き
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Marinated some chicken thighs in an umami-packed homemade miso sauce over 44 hours before pan-frying to a charred crisp and layering them strips over a bowl of steamed rice from Niigata Prefecture. As if that wasn’t enough (no, it wasn’t!), yours truly topped it off with an extra drizzle of miso sauce and a few sprinkles of scallion and sesame seeds. Quite a satisfying lunch this made.
29th BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN THIGH
Odys + Penelope, Los Angeles
Bacon wrapped chicken thigh, lemon date sauce
