HOW DID CHICKEN RICE CAME ABOUT

History

The only chicken rice found in Hainan in China, an island off the southern coast of China, is made with the Wengcheng chicken, a bony fowl with very little flesh served with rice thick with oil and accompanied by ground green chilli dip. Hainanese chefs also use pork and chicken bone stock unlike their Singaporean counterparts who avoid the pork base in their chicken rice. Thus the Hainanese Chicken Rice dish probably evolved through the Hainanese immigrants in the region and gained from local influences such as the Cantonese. The Cantonese added lime to the chilli sauce and ensured their chickens were tender and young. The Hainanese Chicken Rice dish is said to have taken root in areas like Middle Road, Purvis Street and Koek Road more than 60 years ago.

MALAY CHICKEN RICE FOR YOU ?

We tried the nasi ayam at Maxwell Food Centre. The price is a little expensive, which is $4.50 per plate. However, it tasted really good and we think it is worth the money. The crispy chicken crumbs added more spice and flavour to the already appetizing nasi ayam. The chicken was tender and the soup was hot and yummy. The chilli was not too spicy and everything was just enough to balance the overall flavours.

We decided to give it a 7/10 stars. 

TIME FOR CHICKEN RICE

We tasted the chicken rice at maxwell food centre. It costs $3 for a plate of roasted chicken rice with soup included. The price was acceptable, as most places sell a plate chicken rice around the same price. The queue at the stall was not too bad due to that it was not peak hour. the stall owner was seen happily chatting with some of the customers, i suppose this is his way of retaining customers. The chicken rice was pretty nice and so was the soup. The chilli wasn't that spicy, which might be suitable for Caucasian tourists if they can't take spicy food. We are busy ordering other foods and busy taking photographs of the food and when we finally started tasting the food, the food had already turned cold and caused the rice to turn hard. However, after adding the soup to the rice, it tasted much better. We even asked for an extra bowl of rice which costs an additional 50 cent to try while its still warm.
We would rate this chicken rice 6/10 stars :)
