Cantonese Delights Review: Secret Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodles Drenched In Curry

Cantonese Delight - Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodles for $4 Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodles at Cantonese Delights Here’s what we got: Fried Chicken Cutlet Noodle ($4) with additional Char Siew ($1) and Fried Beancurd Skin ($0.40) . There’s a whole deep fried chicken thigh topped on a decent portion of mee kia drowned in fragrant curry gravy.

The noodles retained its eggy undertone in a bed of seemingly overpowering curry gravy. The curry was gravitating towards what you’d expect from curry vegetables at a economical rice stall, instead of the umami and thick version in curry chicken.

With a consistency that lies between soup and gravy, the flavourful curry coated the wanton mee with a bold taste of curry spice and coconut fragrance. If you’re not a fan of noodles, you can have it with rice at $4 too! The deep fried chicken cutlet on our plate came piping hot, with tender and juicy thigh meat encased in crispy golden brown skin.

This crispy chicken is a 10/10 in my books, no wait, 11/10. What completed my satisfaction was the FREE-FLOW deep fried pork lard. Instead of the usual scant topping of fried onions, fresh scallions and pork lard, Cantonese Delights lets you help yourself to these.

The pork lard was so crispy it didn’t even feel as oily as it should have! As they as well sell laksa yong tau foo, I decided to add on one of my favourite yong tau foo items: Crispy Beancurd Skin ($0.40) .

What’s different about their crispy beancurd skin is it comes with a fish paste centre that was a great touch to the plain crispy treat. I was expecting three to four slices of it when I paid $1, but got double of what I expected.

The char siew might not be the most succulent I’ve had but the savour was definitely to my liking. I have always loved the slightly charred BBQ taste when it comes to meat so this was right up my alley.

I waited 10 minutes with four to five people in the queue before me. I requested to add a bit more curry to my plate as my curry gravy got soaked up after a while and they were very nice to do so without any charge.

The verdict I usually hate queueing for food but this fried chicken cutlet noodles was worth the wait.
