Do you remember that place Chakey's with their delicious salt baked chicken? It turns out that they shut down about a year or two ago. Fortunately, there is another shop that makes salt baked chicken called First Class Taste, and they were selling them at a small food expo today. We picked up one to eat for dinner tonight.
It might look a bit off-putting in the photo, but I was happy with it. This kampong chicken was rather small, and the white meat was a bit tough, but there was still some tasty fat in there. It was pleasantly salty; I don't remember Chakey's being this salty, although it's been so long that I could be wrong.
It was also laced with traditional Chinese herbs (ginseng, I think). Normally I'd shy away from that, but this was delicate, and the taste has grown on me too. I happily consumed it down to the bone, and even mopped up the juice with some carbs afterwards.
