Plus One Raikan Chicken Rice @ Central Market. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Another one of our budget finds in KK, Sabah.
This spot is a little hidden at Central Mall.
We were told by our friend that this spot has chicken rice stalls in various prices. 
It seems that prices go higher in each stall.
The deeper ones are more pricey.

Of course, you get what you pay for.


We decided to have a taste of the cheapest chicken rice we could find there.


This is how the RM2.70 chicken rice looks like.
Yup. I guess its pretty legit.
What would you expect? 


Unknowingly, we ordered one chicken breast
and the rest was chicken drumsticks.

The taste?
The sauce they put the chicken in is slightly different from the soy sauce base we get in KL.
It tastes like chicken soup plus oyster sauce (and probably a lot of m.s.g) 
The chilli sauce provided is a little more like the "thai" chilli sauce we get from the bottles.
Sweet based spiciness with a sticky texture to it.

& Of course, as KL people, 
we are super curious how possibly are they to earn with such cheap prices?

We ordered our drinks,
& here comes the first catch.
the drinks costs an average of RM2 each.
Thats a little pricier than usual for drinks.
Which totals the meal back up to about RM5 at the end, unless you dont drink.

It was a pretty ok budget meal.
We finished up and went off to pay
only to find out at the cashier that of course the RM2.70 meal has another catch to it.
If you did not order (point directly) at the RM2.70 chicken rice,
the drumstick rice costs RM4 each instead.
Only the chicken breast was RM2.70.

Yup. tricky isnt it?
