Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore


Chicken Rice

A Singapore national dish. The Singapore Hainanese Chicken rice is special because this version is not originally found in Hainan, China. The unique appeal lies in the passion behind its creation. The grains are firstly fried in flavoured oils and garlic before boiling in chicken stock. The chilli sauce must have a spicy and zingy tang to it and the fowl must be stock boiled for flavour and immediately ice dunked for texture. This technique firms the skin, locks the juices and oils and keeps the flesh moist and soft.

This dish is readily available at food courts, hawker centres, coffee shops and hotel F&B outlets. My long-time favourite place for Chicken Rice is at:

Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice
Stall 01-15, Blk 120
Bukit Merah Lane 1
Alexandra Village Hawker Centre
S. 150120

Closed on Sundays and public holidays
