Jalan Tengah Chicken Rice – Sa bi (3 flavored)
Written on 1:25 PM by Penang Tua Pui
As hosts to our business associates, we were obliged to bring them to taste authentic Penang foods. Besides, the official business purpose here, they have heard a lot about Malaysia and Penang as well, some have been here a few times, some were first timers.
Of course, being friendly and proud Penangites, we were more than happy to show them the delicacies and sumptuous dishes in Penang.
Having lunch outside offices is usually warm and sweaty especially under hot burning sun. We brought our guests to try “sa bi” (3 flavored) chicken rice at Jalan Tengah.
The shop is located at the ground floor of a flat, facing Persiaran Mayang Pasir and opposite a mosque. The place is a bit warm but well shaded and good ventilation at surrounding so you will not feel stuffy.
You get choices of roasted chicken, boiled chicken, Chinese sausages and roasted pork as well. You can order just one type or mix them all, we believe this place is called sa bi because most people orders generally 3 types.
The roasted pork sold here has more fat (pui bak), so those who prefer pui bak to lean meat may like them. Well, we do!!! :D
Besides the chicken rice, you can order a side dish of assam fish sold by the economy rice stall beside. The assam fish did serve as a great side dish to the chicken rice.
The price per plate for the chicken rice is between RM3 – RM5+ based on number of choices you ordered. You can pay to the boss directly or just pay the bills on your own.
There is a container with loose change located in front of the stall. Mind you, if you ever think that anyone may just "run away” with the money, the boss has great chopping skills that make them think again and again if they really want to do that….
You become part of them.. awaiting to be chopped....Hahaha
Crowded and Long Queue
