Keith Gilabert: Orange Chicken That Tastes Like Candy!

[Keith Gilabert]

Siam Rice in SCV is a little unassuming restaurant in an auto repair mall which serves the Best Orange Chicken I have ever Tasted!

The orange chicken is sweet and tangy and I kid you not....It Tastes Like Candy! It is that good!!

Try it and let me know what you think.,

Cheers,

Keith

Only question - why do I want my orange chicken or any other chicken to taste like candy?
I prefer chicken to taste first like chicken, and the sugar can remain in the cupboard for another use.

Does frying chicken mean that the "chicken flavor" is taken away? Or does it mean it's enhanced? Same with orange chicken. Or any other flavor one might add to give the overall dish a different bent. I actually like orange chicken with an added "chile" kick. Sweet/Hot is a great mix of flavors for me.

You should give Lingham's sweet chili sauce a try. It reminds me of the sauce on orange chicken.

That stuff looks great!

Lets' say I can't make it to Siam Rice in the near future. Where in LA can I buy that sauce?

[bulavinaka]

We always get it at 99 Ranch - the stores usually have a section devoted to food typically found in Indonesia and Malaysia. If you go, another one you might be consider is ABC Tropical Chilli Sauce. The ABC line has a number of sauces in the same shape bottle - some are pretty spicy for the American palate. But the Tropical has components of garlic, chile and sweet that just about anyone who likes spicy can handle.

Awesome! Thank you!

I am right by a seafood city (filipino market) so I will try there first. If no success - 99 ranch, here I come!

I didn't mean it "tastes like candy" literally...I meant it is soo good it is like eating candy.

Try this place out and let me know.

Thanks for commenting.

Cheers,

Keith, which location are you reviewing? The Canyon Country one or the Saugus one? (They're both in the SCV.)

[Keith Gilabert]

I went to the one in Saugus.

Check it out!
