I rarely see rice dishes in Ho Chi Minh, but this one stands out with its hearty and comforting take of a fried chicken rice. Its current location is a little hard to find, being down an alley. We went at night so there was a bit of apprehension. Nonetheless, you will soon see that it was well worth the journey! I was drawn to this chicken rice shop because of the unique way they prepare their chicken! By “raining” their oil down to fry their chicken, the end product is crispy chicken skin with tender, juicy meat! Here's a video of how they do it! I've also included their menu below!
But the unexpected star of the meal was their rice - we did not expect the amount of wokhei that was present in this unassuming rice. It was like fried rice on steroids - oily, savoury and incredibly moreish. It was so good that the hubs ordered another portion of rice [10K]!
There’s also a thick homemade garlicky hoisin-based dipping sauce that admittedly looks sussy af but lemme tell you, looks are deceiving! It was soo good that we poured it on EVERYTHING. Mixing it with the rice somehow made the excellent rice, even better?!?
Bookmark this place for your next trip to Ho Chi Minh City, I promise you won’t regret it! If you need help locating the shop, I've included a picture of the shop front below, as well as the address in the "Review Details" section.
