Kenny’s Delight

Pork Fried Rice with Vegetables and Dried Olives, Fish and King Oyster Mushroom on Fried Noodles

After a whole day of sports with the guys and not having a full meal all day, all I can think of is Kenny’s Delight, located in First Markham Place. This is because Kenny’s is well known for their large dishes at a reasonable price. So, before I begin my review, I challenge everyone to try and eat TWO plates of Kenny’s rice or fried noodles. It is possible (I’ve witnessed my previous roommate eat two before), but I believe only a handful of people can achieve this feat WITHOUT training or fasting.

Anyways, to satisfy my hunger, I ordered the pork fried rice with vegetables and dried olives ($7.99 + tax), an usual for me at Kenny’s while my friend ordered the fried noodles with fish and king oyster mushroom ($10.99 + tax). Now, I may be biased since I’ve been eating at Kenny’s for a long time, but the pork fried rice has never disappointed me. The rice is not too dry or too wet, just moist enough. There are plenty of dried olives in the rice and always enough meat and vegetables so that you will never be left with just rice in the end. The fried noodles, however, was a major disappointment. The noodles seem to be overcooked and burnt a bit and the taste was bland and plain, almost as if there were no flavour at all. The fish was decent and not overcooked , but still had no taste to it. Other than that, I don’t know what else I can say aside from a below average dish overall for Kenny’s.

If it weren’t for the fried noodles, it would have been a nice dinner at Kenny’s. So, for all you followers of this blog, DO NOT order the fried noodles (unless you’re feeling for some plain and flavourless food similar to congee). This does not change my mind about recommending and going back to Kenny’s though, but I think I’ll just stick to my pork fried rice and salty fish fried rice (also my favourite at Kenny’s) from now on.

Rating: 8.5/10 (-0.5 for the horrible fried noodles = 8/10)

P.S: I also ordered the Horlicks, which by the way, is the best Horlicks I’ve ever had. Highly Recommended!
