A new restaurant opened up recently called Rooster and Rice, and let me tell you it's a special little place. They do everything they can to utilize a limited number of ingredients in a way that doesn't waste anything. Their main ingredients are chicken, rice, and snackable veggies. They then have fried chicken on rice, or boiled chicken on rice, and you can tell the rice was also boiled in the chicken water. Then they have popcorn chicken for spare bits, fried chicken skin for the skins they take off the boiled chicken, and they make a broth from the bones and spare bits of veg. Seems like rice at the bottom of the pot goes into a porridge, along with leftover chicken and fried chicken skin bits. Then they throw in an egg and viola, delicious rice and chicken porridge.

Their sauces are absolutely amazing, enough that they can make plain boiled chicken taste great. Both of the sauces seen here are sweet, the red sauce being more tart while the white sauce is a makrut lime aioli that is absolutely amazing.

This is super amazing comfort food and you can really tell they make everything from scratch. I'm really glad they popped up in town.
