Heard folks talking about it the other day,
So I went to check it out tonight.
On Datong Road, by the public housing,
Among many shops on red brick ground.

The sign seemed to say chicken cutlet bowl,
I ordered one to give it a try.
The fried chicken wasn't too small,
And the flavor was fairly fragrant.

On the side, a few accompaniments:
Sliced egg with Thousand Island dressing,
Seaweed, cucumber, dried radish,
And finally a bowl of miso soup.

Maybe I'm just picky,
But it was only so-so.
On my personal scale,
Seventy-two out of a hundred, I suppose.
