Penang Food: Chicken Rice at Fettes Park

The one and only Fatty Loh Chicken Rice at Fettes Park, Tanjong Tokong Penang.
Date: 24th September 2012
Time: 1pm Lunch

Monday lunch, I travelled nearly half Penang Island planning to eat Western Food at James Foo restaurant but it closed on Monday. yakes...~! How now brown cows? Never mind, another good chicken rice next door.

Fatty Loh Chicken Rice and James Foo Western Food, these two restaurants used to co-exist in the same location before. That time, you can order chicken rice if you can't wait for the James Foo western food to serve. Last time, the service of western food was really bad and yet many people still dine there. 

One of my experience is waiting 1 hour ++ to get the western food serve....wtf! That is the last one time I visit there until the new shop for James Foo opened side by side with Fatty Loh Chicken Rice, then the service only improved. Anyway, I talking about Fatty Loh Chicken Rice in this post.

I believe there is conflict in the fatty loh chicken rice business, the signboard of the fatty loh written as "one and only fatty loh chicken rice in Penang". But, you can see other chicken rice stall in Penang also claimed as Fatty Loh Chicken rice. Which one is the original? I think the one located at Fettes park look more real and original because there are 2 big statues of fatty chef and standing chicken outside the shop.

If someone tried to copy the fame of fatty loh, they won't spend so much money creating the statues. Another factor is fatty loh still selling RM1 Koay Teow (noodles) soup in Penang. You can't find any noodles soup at RM1 (USD0.30) nowadays.

Although they selling the Koay Teow soup at RM1 but the chicken rice is not cheap. I "kena" slaughter by them in this trip. I ordered steam chicken for two person portion, 2 normal rice, lok bak x 2, acha (vegetable) small portion, 2 koay teow soup and 2 drinks. it cost me nearly RM30, to be exact at RM28.50....fml. breakdown the cost, I also don't know how it come to that. On that particular dine in, fatty loh give sour vegetable soup for free. I feel like VIP treat until I make payment, then I find out they plan to slaughter me by give some "free soup" upfront....damn...!

I looked around, we're the only customer who dine there from the start order until I finish the chicken rice. Not even a single working class dine in or take away on Monday lunch. What could be the possible reason? I guess I know what is the reason and this probably the last time I dine at Fatty Loh Fettes Park.
