I kept my expectations low though, as I didn’t have high hopes that it would be able to match the original, and... unfortunately I was right.
.
The soup was still decent, but it felt almost watered down, and lacked the grittiness and depth of chicken bone flavour that got me addicted to the soup in Bangkok (I drank five bowls).
.
The chicken was very juicy and tender, but was otherwise featureless, much like the original. However, that made it the perfect vehicle the dark ginger and chilli sauce, which is slightly sweet.
.
The rice was on the lighter side, not as oily as the Singaporean version, but still retained a good fragrance.
.
All in all, I did enjoy the meal, but if you go in expecting a rival to the traditional Singaporean chicken rice, which is heavy, oily, spicy and sinful, you’d be sorely disappointed. It’s different, and a lot lighter in tastes, but I did enjoy it for what it is, although it definitely felt like a ‘training-wheel’ version of the one served in BKK.
