We tried the trending $1.90 chicken rice at AMK — is it worth the trip?​

Though I’ve been living in the Ang Mo Kioneighbourhood all my life, AMK Central is one place that I hardly travel to unless I’ve got an errand to run. Recently, a stall called Nguan Express 88 at 704 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 offering S$1.90 chicken rice has been making waves on various media channels. Since it’s just a stone’s throw from my place, I figured — why not rope in a colleague and check it out together?

We arrived at 9.30am and saw the large signage advertising Roasted Chicken Rice and Soy Chicken Rice sold for just S$1.90. If you’re someone who only eats breast meat, I’m sorry, but beggars can’t be choosers— just take what you’re given.
