Nan Xiang Chicken Rice at Square 2 @ Novena

 

I'm a little confused as to whether this small chain from Whampoa Market is related to the famous stall out in Tanjong Katong. Indeed, the thing to get at the Katong stall was the char siew, but the one from this shop (10 Sinaran Drive #02-07, 6996-0052) was rather forgettable. Still, the chicken was very moist and tender, and fortunately wasn't sitting in a sweet sauce . The chili and ginger sauces were pretty good, and they even gave an option for a chicken rice ball if you requested it. But really, that char siew was not anything that I'll get again, and I'll pass on the soup too given that the dumplings were stuck together and lukewarm when they served it to me.
