Chinatown Complex is a culinary treasure trove, housing numerous famous food stalls. Among these, Ma Li Ya Virgin Chicken 瑪莉亞處女雞 stands out not only for its unique name but also for its specialty in soy sauce chicken.
Ma Li Ya Virgin Chicken at Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre needs no further introduction but, unless you have eaten it before, you would never have guessed that what I had here is a plate of chicken rice because frankly, it does not even remotely resemble one.
The chicken drumstick was tender and flavourful, with a sweet flowery flavour from the qq soft skin, which had taken on the dark brown of the soy sauce.
The taste as overall is quite unique and I don't mind spending some calories on these yummy chicken.
Ma Li Ya has one of the best ones if not the best in Singapore. For savoury note soy sauce chicken, I would say the original Chew Kee is the winner.
I'm liking the gentle sweetness on the skin of the slurp of the bone tender chicken. Everything was as good as I remembered it.
I love my chicken rice chili so much I would add a lot to my plate till friends would tease me that I am having chili rice instead.
瑪俐亞處女雞 serves one of the nicest HK soya sauce chicken in Chinatown Complex, if not Singapore. Ideal for you, if you like food with a slight sweet leaning taste profile.
I'm impressed that the flavour and sweetness from their sauces permeated both the wobbly tofu (definitely worth considering) and even those chicken livers they had. Imagine. Sweet livers.
The taste as an overall is quite unique and I dont mind spending some calories on these yummy chicken.
Thus, in my own opinion, I would be certain to say that Maria Virgin Chicken does offer a quality dish that does not fall short behind the standard of a Michelin star award.
