Food Review : Chicken Rice in SG

[seiko.citizen]

good points raised! i do admit i can never stop myself for ordering an extra serve of rice... as for the soup, ive found that soaking some lettuce insides brings out a very pleasant aroma along with the chicken broth.

[toffeesthings]

just curious what do you guys look for in a chicken rice?

is it the rice, or the chicken, or the soup?

also anyone a fan of the chicken organs? in particular the "kway kian" (no idea what the hell that is called in english )

Wow, hard question on a monday morning, hehe!
To me, the chicken should be the highlight of the dish, it has to be cooked right, tender, succulent and firm. Better yet if there are traces of geletin beneath the skin that adds to the smoothness. The chicken should also be soaked in a good and generous dose of sauce with traces of sesame oil, soy and oyster sauce, sufficiently salty and not too bland.
The rice used should be fragrant and contain the right amount of oil; made good with the aroma of ginger. It should be good enough to eat on its own, that's the secret appeal of chicken rice!
Screw the soup though, I think it's usually a waste of time in Singapore : p

kway kian = Chicken gizzard

I love organs as well especially the chicken liver. Yum yum =)

IIRC, "kway kian" should be the chicken innards.

I love chicken rice at Wee Nam Kee!

For me, it would be the cheap and good chicken rice at the level two food center at Tiong Bahru market, there is always a 'Q'. Go for the chicken thigh (boiled), super smooth texture and u will not be disappointed.

yeah. i understand. there is always this particular 'taste' you looking for once you have happy memories on the food. i have tried almost all the chicken rice stalls from katong shopping centre until 'small but big' @ siglap.

Ya it is the basement food court 1. I just like this stall donno why and most of my friends like this stall. Maybe cause we have some good memories there =) I think maybe because i eat so long already and don't find other place one to my liking. Anyway there is a cake shop also at the basement call Dona Manis. The cake there all look very normal until you try them. I love the pie, rum ball and chocolate cake there. Definitely worth a try after eating the Chicken rice there.

This is not bad but whenever I go there, end up ordering Bah Kut Teh or roast duck rice.

Oic, i also order the Lao Pan Zhei Duck rice. Quite Shiok too.
