1. Soft and Tender Meat
The Hainanese chicken rice is so famous in Bukit Timah and anywhere in Singapore because of its meatiness. Unlike other chicken dishes, locals have a different way of cooking this. They soaked it with cold water, and sometimes with ice. If you know gastronomy, you would know that this process makes the chicken meat so tender.
2. Flavourful Inside Out
That soaking with cold water process also makes the Hainanese chicken rice so flavourful. So, when you grab a bite, you would feel a gelatin-like texture inside and out.
3. Can Be Bare or Pair with Different Sauces
Because of its taste, you can eat with or without the sauce. But most locals prefer to pair the chicken rice with ginger sauce. This condiment complements the natural flavour of the chicken. If you are not a fan of ginger, there are three more sauces: soy, sweet and chilli that you can try.
4. Rich Savoury Rice
Want to know what makes its rice so savoury? That is all thanks to its broth. It brings out the flavour of the chicken that enhances the quality of the rice.
5. . Irresistible Aroma
Due to its irresistible aroma, anyone who eats it once would crave for more. No wonders why every restaurant offers chicken rice delivery all around Singapore. This sweet aroma came from the pandan leaves that was boiled and cooked with chicken rice.
