Chicken Rice is a time-honored favorite
This is one of the island city-state’s national dishes. Chicken Rice is found at street stalls, which may also be referred to as hawker stalls. It’s also found in sit-down eateries. You may order chicken slices or go for a full bird (which is ideal for a larger group). This chicken dish is an adaptation of a dish enjoyed by former inhabitants of Hainan Island in China. When Hainan Island residents came to Singapore, they brought their recipe with them, and the recipe soon took on a Singaporean twist. Everyone who visits Singapore should sample this traditional dish. This dish is served with chili that has quite a spicy kick, in addition to rice and a paste made from ginger.
