Lian Kee Bean Sprouts Chicken Rice by Delivery

I ordered half a chicken, bean sprouts and rice from Lian Kee Bean Sprouts Chicken Rice USJ 14, uncovering a clear disparity between the tough bird and the stellar crunch of the sprouts.

When the containers were unpacked, the narrative split cleanly down the middle. The primary disappoint lay in the centerpiece: the half-portion of kampung chicken. While a certain firm elasticity is to be expected from free-range birds, this execution crossed the line into being noticeably tough (for me), especially when compared to far superior versions of kampung chicken I've enjoyed elsewhere.

The condiments did a great deal to make the chicken a decent eat for me

The saving grace arrived in the accompanying vegetable container. The Ipoh Bean Sprouts were the undisputed winners of the entire meal—fat, stubby, remarkably fresh, and packed with an intense, clean water-crunch that held up beautifully during the delivery ride. Tossed in a standard savory soy dressing, they outshone the chicken effortlessly. While the oil rice provided a competent, fragrant base, it was the humble bean sprouts that salvaged the evening's order.
