It’s not every day you find proper Latin American food in restaurants, let alone in a hawker centre. But the folks behind Tee Kitchen are out to change that with hearty plates of Colombian chicken. The recipe is inspired by an old family friend from Colombia and is authentic as it gets – some Colombian customers even said it reminded them of their grandmother’s cooking. Each plate is bang for your buck – $5.50 will get you a meaty thigh and drumstick drenched in the signature yellow-hued gravy, olive rice, some salsa and a punchy chilli paste. The stew-like gravy is unlike any other; there is sweetness from onions as well as earthy and floral notes from turmeric, coriander, cumin and pepper. Go easy on the chilli if you’re not big on spice as it packs a ton of heat.
