In the period from late 1970s to early 1980s, the chicken rice began to have sesame oil sauce to raise attraction. But in the Yet Con restaurant, chicken rice still remains version 1949. A big difference in the chicken of Yet Con is that chicken is dry naturally without freezer, chicken meat is drier than chicken in new style
