Sam Ma Chicken Rice 三妈芽菜滑鸡饭 @ Ipoh, Perak

Many people came to Ipoh to have a taste of their famous bean sprouts chicken and we were introduced to this Sam Ma Chicken Rice (三妈芽菜滑鸡饭). We heard there is always a queue in front of the restaurant and it was true. We arrived at 6.30pm on a non public holiday Monday and we dned up getting the food at 7:15pm including some waiting time in queue. Regarding to the food, we found it to be nice but Sam Ma has courted some controversial reponses since we posted it in our Instagram and Xiao Hong Shu. Some said it was mediocre while one comment the chicken stinks. So we reckon it really depends on personal preferences.

We ordered half a portion of braised chicken (RM 24) and it was indeed nice. The meat was tender and the soy sauce was amazing. The soy sauce was so addictive that it goes really well with the garlic steam rice. However, our experience was somehow dented when we spotted a few pieces of chicken which was not properly cooked as the meat was shiny and the texture was off. 

If you prefer a more tender meat, you could go for the premium kampung chicken too that cost RM 34 at the portion for half chicken or RM 65 for the portion for full chicken.

We ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun to go along with the chicken and the bowl of hor fun was properly seasoned. In fact, those prefer a lighter taste would find this bowl of hor fun offers a strong soy sauce taste.

Bean Sprouts (RM 4/small) were plump, juicy ad nicely seasoned but you can consider to give a skip to their vegetables (RM 7/small). It was casually cut to huge piece of vegetables and not well seasoned.

The fish balls and meat balls (RM 1.10/piece) were good and you can order them in small quantity too.

We saw many patrons here ordered chicken innars and chicken feets too. It seems that these two exotic dishes are their forte but unfortunately we were not into these exotic food.

The ginger and chili sauce here is good. 

Overall, we enjoyed the food at Sam Ma Chicken Rice but again, taste is individualized and very personal. Our favourite Chicken Bean Sprout in Ipoh still go for Cowan Street but the inconvenience operating hours may have complicated the visit.
