I have been wanting to try the dish here ever since finding out that the original owner of Ricky's moved and operated an entirely new establishment.
I would say, this place definitely lives up to the the hype & can easily be the best chicken rice I've tried in Adelaide.
Every single components of the dish are lovingly made, from the soft, succulent, flavourful chicken pieces doused in fragrant soy sauce with a hint of garlic and sesame oil, which have been kindly provided an extra bowl of, just in case you need more to pair with the rice with just enough fluffiness in each grain and complement the protein really well.
The star of the dish, in my opinion, is the combo of chili sauce, with plenty of kick and tanginess that brighten the dish and the oh-so-fragrant and more-ish ginger sauce (which I am dieing to know the secret mix of).
Now the soup, oh the soup !
The soup that often seen as an afterthought in most Southern Chinese cooking is beautifully seasoned chicken broth with a hint of pepper and plenty of leek and fried onions, full of umami and very fragrant. My only slight is, I wish they served more of the chicken soup!
For a ten dollars meal, it will be very difficult to find other dish that can beat the quality of the dish. Can't wait to return and try their order dishes such as kolo mee and crispy roast pork. See less
