Nicely, it looks as if this hidden gem has been within the information currently. Very blissful to see the store doing nicely! However good luck to regulars who used to take pleasure in it being a bit extra ‘hidden’ 😛. That’s proper – I’m speaking about Fiie’s Cafe (previously generally known as As-Shifaa Cafe) however you’ll in all probability understand it higher by – Mister Grumpy Fried Rooster now.
The title could have modified however the meals stays tasty and reasonably priced. I obtained to find out about this place due to my darling spouse (so means I obtained doubly fortunate lah proper 😁) who used to work close by Fortunate Plaza. And our authentic assessment was manner again in 2014. I imagine it was actually my first go to there after I met her throughout her lunch break.
@thehalalfoodblog Mister Grumpy Fried Rooster Nasi Ayam all the time hits the spot 🔥 Theyre opening their third outlet subsequent week (clue: it’s not within the East facet 🥲) #halalsg #sgfoodie #fyp
So this isn’t your Hainanese-style rooster rice as you may see. They promote Nasi Ayam the place your rooster rice is served with a sedap giler rooster that’s given the #DeepFriedGoodness remedy!
Deep-fried rooster served with further crispy crumbs for that further shiokness takes it to the following degree! I assume you possibly can say it is a Malay-style of rooster rice. Y’all in all probability know, there are 2-3 actually superior ones across the island and this one positively makes the record. There’s one thing about that conventional marination of flavours that offers that style all of us love.
The fried rooster isn’t the one ‘distinctive’ factor about this Nasi Ayam by the best way…
On high of the standard Rooster Rice chili, you additionally get to take pleasure in their signature Sambal 🔥 And belief me – this one is tremendous shiok! It’s kinda like a Sambal Ikan Bilis that you simply may get with Nasi Lemak however one way or the other this one is just a little totally different. Regardless of the case, all of the flavours simply go so nicely collectively and to be trustworthy my mouth is simply watering as I kind this out.
After we used to go to, that they had further treats like Fried Rooster Elements like Gizzard and Neck and so on (aka Empedal) which everybody simply beloved and I now see extra sides on the their menu together with Sambal Quail Eggs, Sambal Hotdogs and Bagedil. No matter you alternative, the primary star is undoubtedly the Fried Rooster Nasi Ayam 💪🏼
For sure, we extremely advocate the Nasi Ayam right here. I’m going to need to get used to calling it Mister Grumpy Fried Rooster aka Fiie’s Cafe and never As-Shifaa however most vital factor is that the meals continues to be sedap. It is a good instance the place the the place lives as much as the hype you see on-line. See y’all there! (Hopefully when the lunch crowd has handed LOL).
PS you may in all probability see that I haven’t actually talked about a lot in regards to the angle taken by most media shops – in regards to the ‘grumpy’ nature of the stall proprietor(s) (therefore the title Mister Grumpy Fried Rooster). All I can say is that I’ve by no means had an disagreeable expertise once we visited and like most individuals will say – the meals is certainly well worth the wait.
The excellent news is that Mister Grumpy Fried Rooster by Fiie’s Cafe has opened a number of shops islandwide. You’ll find SIX shops throughout Singapore and hopefully extra to come back sooner or later.
