Very Popular Chicken Rice
Thanks to Shez from One Bite More I think she's restored my faith in finding a decent Chicken Rice in the city which can sometimes be too dry and tasteless. Like Shez, I've also been to many others like Jimmy’s Recipe Malaysia (The Galeries Victoria) Malay-Chinese Takeaway (Hunter St) and BaBa Laksa House (Grace Hotel) but the very popular Sayong seems to deliver well on taste, size and tenderness — although where's those beloved slices of cucumber shown in their menu board?
Sayong is located downstairs in the Asian food court underneath Woolworths. I've had the Ipoh Fried Koay Teow from Sayong before which is pretty good too. While waiting for my chicken rice I noticed the majority of orders being served were actually chicken rice which is a good sign. I order the leg because I've often found the breast at other places a bit dry but I think I'll try the breast next time here so I can avoid the bones you usually get with a leg.

Have you tried the place to the left? They're not bad either!
You should try the Hainan Chicken at the MET Centre Food Court at Lee's Malaysian. I rate it.
Ooh! I love chicken rice will definitely give this place a try. The skin on the chicken looks good. Do you know if they are open in the weekends?
I agree. Sometimes you just don't want to bother have to cut or eat around bones. I haven't tried chicken rice before, it looks so good, I'll have to give it a go soon.
Hi aptronym, I haven't tried but will keep in mind for next time, thanks
Hi Ken, previously I've tried the Har Mee and Laksa at Lee's and a friend tried the chicken rice but they found it a bit dry last time, check out Sayong and see what you think to compare and I'll try and remember to try Lee's
Hi clekitty, not sure if they are open on weekends, I'm assuming not because I think it's more a working week food court but let me know if you find out otherwise
Hi Anita, I'll definitely try the breast next time. If it's as moist and tender as the leg meat then it should be ok.
Hi Simon. I recommend the Malaysian takeaway at the Maritime building on Kent Street. You need to enter the building and go down the escalators. this place serves the best Hainanese Chicken rice - I know because I'm Hainanese. Let me know what you think!
Hi Anonymous, sounds worth investigating, thanks for the food tip, I'll try and visit for lunch this week and check out :-)
that chicken rice looks deliciouss! I'm not really sure where pittsway arcade is though - when you say underneath woolworths you don't mean the town hall woolies do you?
and lol the malay laksa at hunter connection rocks! <3
hi grace, yep it's near the woolworths town hall :-)
This is definitely the best place in sydney for Chicken rice.
You have to ask for the hot chilli sauce for that extra zing...
Then pour all the juices into the rice after you have finished all the chicken...yummy.
hi matthew, glad you agree. if you find anywhere better please let me know :-)
