Chef Maria Siew Pui Yin might have a tongue-in-cheek named stall, a wordplay on "Virgin Mary Chicken", but her 60+ years of experience shows.
.
The fresh chicken here is the most tender, bouncy, and succulent ever, with a clean meaty sweet flavour.
.
Her signature gravy, a blend of herbs, dark sweet soy sauce, rose wine, and sesame oil, has a distinct herbal earthy salty sweet flavour that is so addictive.
.
Some fluffy white rice and crisp bean sprouts, along with a spicy sour chili, round this out. She's equally famed for her braised tofu beancurd, a favourite add-on for regulars.
