Hainanese Chicken Rice
Don’t let the name mislead you; Hainanese chicken rice is often considered as one of Singapore’s flagship dishes.

Its widespread availability throughout the country underscores its popularity among locals and overseas visitors.

The magic, as they say, lies in the precision needed to prepare this seemingly straightforward local fare — from the complexity of the rice (usually prepared with stock) to the exact temperature needed to cook the chicken to perfect tenderness.

Devotees of this local dish will swear by the accompanying chilli sauce, usually made from a special blend of chilli, garlic and ginger that goes exceedingly well with the succulent chicken slices.

You can also dip the chicken into the dark soy sauce and garlic sauce, and eat it with a hearty helping of rice to fully appreciate this delightful dish.

Other versions include the roasted chicken rice, which comprise slices of juicy roasted chicken as opposed to the usual steamed version.
