Hainanese Chicken Rice

$3.00 · 15 Reviews

This is another stall that has been included in Michelin Bib Gourmand List. The steamed chicken ($5.30 for drum stick and chicken wing rice) is really smooth and tender, and the skin has a jelly-like consistency. It goes well with the salted vegetables served on the side and the fiery chilli. However, the rice is too dry for my liking - wished it is more moist and fluffy. Interestingly, this stall also sells fried Ngor Hiang ($3) and I love how crispy and fragrant it is.

The picture is ugly because I couldn’t resist eating it before taking a photo.

When I was there at around 6pm, they have sold out the roasted chicken.

The acidity from the salted vegetable blends in the chicken rice superbly, bringing out the fragrance of the rice.

And the chilli is perfect. Enough tanginess to equate the spiciness

Chicken rice, condiments and soup are blurred out here because the focus is really on the tender chicken slices and crispy tofu. Fried tofu was drizzled with sweet, spicy sauce - thai style. It comes with a small serving of bean sprout for a balanced meal. Pocket friendly meal which satisfy the tummy 🐓

Sure, there are better, but if you're looking for a good chicken rice, this does the job. Chicken was great. These days you get either boneless cold chicken or bone-in warm chicken - here's a boneless warm chicken. Rice was also fragrant and oily enough.

Price: SGD3.00
For the price, I really appreciate that the chicken portion is generous. It has a good mixture of parts so u get some skin, fatty part and the meaty part.

This has a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, but to be honest, I found it quite meh. The rice doesn’t have enough flavour for me and I found the meat to be rather bland. To each their own I guess! I suppose if you’re looking for a healthier, lighter chicken rice, this is it.

One of the food under the Michelin Guide! Food was decent, and chilli was not bad but worth it for the price!! Queue wasn’t too long considering it was a weekend lunch. Soup was also the peanut soup!

When I can't figure out what to get for lunch, chicken rice is the rescue. The chicken is cooked till succulent, tender, moist and not oily. The rice, while not very fragrant nor soft, has a distinct flavor to it that complements the chicken nicely. The soup is just nice - not too salty, not bland, not oily. I found that their food are not oily, even their fried options are not very oily! It is easily one of the most comforting chicken rice out there. The forever existent lunchtime queue and the Michelin Bib Gourmand are the testimony to how good this is. The chili is not really spicy, though!
