MCO food: Part 6
Inspired by some chicken broth recipes I read online, I made one with celery and garlic:
It was so aromatic when I was cooking it. I used half to make long cabbage soup and the remainder to make ABC soup. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for the former becuase long cabbage has very little taste of its own. So the taste of the soup was ordinary. Meh.
As for the ABC soup, the addition of celery and garlic to the broth didn't make a difference to this soup. The good news, however, was that I finally had silken tofu :)
One day, I was hunkering for chicken rice. The kopitiam nearby has chicken rice but only roasted chicken. So, we drove to Yat Yeh Hing. Ban stayed in the car while I queued. I asked for one roasted chicken breast with large rice and one steamed chicken drumstick with small rice, but I was told that I had to order a quarter chicken to get the drumstick. After 2 seconds of thinking, I declined to order anything. As I walked away, I heard a "huh?" from the staff.
Again on my suggestion, we drove to New Ipoh Chicken Rice Restaurant @Damansara Jaya. Since there was only one other table occupied, social distancing was easy to adhere too. Also, the restaurant wasn't enclosed and so air wasn't trapped with virus circulated via airconds. So we had lunch there.
It had been years since we last dined there. They now had set meals.
It cost RM 11.90 and extra RM 1 for drumstick. Quite worth it. Make sure you have the chicken with its sauce though because it appeared that the chicken was placed in the compartment after the sauce, rather than the sauce poured on the meat.
There was also roasted chicken version at the same price, which Ban had with no extra charge since he preferred breast meat.

What's the reason for the ban?
