Stewed Chicken Drumstick Rice @ A Little Flavour 一点味

A Little Flavour (一点味) is a locally developed fast food restaurant chain developed and owned by Taiwanese. They have managed to crack how to do traditional food in a way that makes the food consistent in portion size and taste, as well as providing a high standard of hygiene. The food arrives at each franchise outlet pre-cooked and in vacuum-sealed packs. The only items that are cooked on the premise by the local operator are the steamed rice and the vegetables. Everything else is air flown from their factory in Chengdu. The vacuum packed food is then warmed in a pot of hot water before being opened and served.

Decor-wise, each restaurant is a cafe that offers free wifi as well as a selection of books on a wide range of topics for people to pass the time. As you can see from the picture of the table top below, they also offer a number of table top games including Chinese Checkers. The enviroment is casual and friendly and they encourage diners to hang around and enjoy their assortment of Taiwanese tea house style beverages.

The meal I selected is their best seller and signature dish. The chicken drumstick was well stewed and tender so that the meat simply falls off the bone upon first bite. The vegetables which are prepared on-site are boiled and overall, the meal is healthy and balanced. For those that love chilli, you may also ask for a small dish of Sichuan chilli oil (辣椒油) seen on top left hand corner of the photograph to spice up the meal.
