Chicken Karaage

On Thursday obviously I had to eat something else (for variety), although I honestly would not mind another round of duck and siew yoke.

As usual, I went to the hospital (at the time of writing my dad is already at home) to visit my dad. Dad was feeling better although he was still lethargic.

Late morning mum and I left the hospital and we Grabcar to my brother's house. After a chat with mum I left for the office. When I reached Damansara Utama, I made my way to The Starling.

On my walk I spotted this sleeping kitty. Somehow I have to stop for a kitty. This one was fast asleep and didn't even wake up when I took its photo.

I passed by Yitcha Kaw Kaw Kopitiam and there was a queue outside. It was already past 1:00pm at that time.

At Red Kettle the lunch crowd was in full swing but there was a vacant small table for me. So I took my seat and wondered what to eat. As usual I had a Flat White. I love the coffee here.

I ordered my meal from the Light Bites section and the most suitable item was Chicken Karaage. It's not exactly ideal though since fried chicken is always coated with flour. 

It was served with two condiments - mayonnaise and a chili garlic dip. Those green things are deep fried kaffir lime leaves (which were aromatic and awesome).

The chicken was fried to perfection, the batter was light and crispy and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The crispy fried kaffir lime leaves added another dimension to the flavor and aroma. 

I squeezed the calamansi lime on the chicken and dipped the tasty morsels in mayonnaise and chili. I really liked this Chicken Karaage. It makes for a nice light meal and honestly, I can eat two portions hah...hah....

For dinner I had a ribeye and some hard boiled eggs.

The meat was very lean and that's why I added some butter to the hard boiled eggs.
