Comfort food does not need an occasion and does not survive being overthought. These 12 guides cover fried chicken and chicken wings, roast chicken and chicken chop, butter chicken, duck, hot dogs and sausages, potato chips and snacks. Each list covers where to get it and what makes that particular version worth the trip, which is usually one thing done properly rather than a long menu done adequately. Some of these are hawker stalls and some are restaurants, and the guides do not rank one above the other. Eat it hot – most of this food does not travel well.
