Samgyetang isn't something that I normally order. But this is a popular barbecue chain from Korea that has opened down here (113 Telok Ayer Street), and they specialize in chicken parts. This bowl was at the top of their lunch menu, apparently as a collaboration with some other samgyetang specialist called Modu. Granted, their rendition didn't really change my opinion of the dish, but the quality of the food was good enough that I still finished it all, including the savory broth.
One should note though that there are enough bones in there that it requires quite a bit of patience to eat (kinda like how I've learned not to eat crab when I'm hungry). It wasn't very filling either, especially since they only provided a little wad of rice rather than a full bowl (presumably that was because there was glutinous rice already stuffed inside the chicken). The thing that I liked more was their minari salad with water snails. They provided small portions of it so one doesn't need to order the full dish.
