In my opinion, the better Chicken Rice stalls in Singapore are those that offers "Ginger Sauce" to go alongside the chilli sauce and the rest of the dish. Chicken rice may seem like a one dimensional dish, but the technique and flavours involved makes it so much more complex. Thank you for shedding light on Singapore local delights! Cheers.

I haven’t been to a stall that doesn’t serve ginger sauce tho😅

Tong Fong Fatt has ginger sauce but for some reason it wasn’t served to the host.

That ginger, garlic and shallot sauce is just incredibly adictive. It just goes with anything. Absolutely fantastic in asian soups as a condiment.

@@andy_cooks Best to honor this dish by calling it by it's proper name *Hainanese Chicken Rice* when referred to as a general principle. Not everyone knows what it is by just calling it "chicken rice" which could mean anything. This goes for all dishes that particular to a certain culture's cuisine.

Great video Andy. I was in Singapore about 12 years ago and fell in love with the chicken rice. I tried both the traditional and roasted, and to be honest I couldn’t decide which I liked better! Both were amazing, I think the rice and getting the sauce right is as key as getting that chicken right. It’s a package deal haha. Can’t wait to see your version

Nice one Chef Andy, I am from the Philippines, I’ve been here in Singapore for 15yrs and Chicken rice became my comfort food, you absolutely hit all the points when it comes to a perfect chicken rice, in fact the ones that earned Michelin starred are overrated, those prepared by uncles and unties in other hawker centers are far better with a perfect ginger and fresh chilli sauce and of course the fragrant rice cooked in coconut cream (gata) can’t wait to see your version of it.

@somethingscookingmama 10 месяцев назад

I love how they make it in thailand too. Its absolutely delightful.

@DianeH2038 10 месяцев назад

chicken rice is one of the best foods in the world. it's surprisingly easy to make, to, and I agree -- the broth is so refreshing and an important side. sometimes I like a bit of winter melon in it (when it's in season), but otherwise just cilantro, salt and white pepper are great in the already ginger-y, green onion-y broth. garlicky/gingery jasmine rice (with shallots and pandan if you have them) is fantastic, a side of cucumber and tomato, sweet thick soy, fresh chili sauce and then of course the perfectly poached, slightly cooled chicken with gelatinous skin is one of my favorite meals to make.

@@andy_cooksReally enjoyed the vibes from your channel. Andrew and Karina seems pretty cool too. Tong Fong Fatt is my favourite chain of chicken rice hawker in Singapore and I will eat it every time I see it. Soy sauce dressing for chicken is the best I ever had in Singapore. Meat is moist with lots of jelly under the skin. I was screaming for you to try Tong Fong Fatt when you sampled the second stall at Maxwell food centre. Great video Andy.

Singapore was kicked out by Malaysia and so far, Singapore has been progressing rapidly, way better than Malaysia. That's why it's 3:1 now. Maybe 4:1 in the future.

The ‘secret’ to having individual grains of the rice distinctly…is mixing old and new rice. Old rice being aged rice >1 year. So the restaurants will mix 50:50 of new and old rice.

@theguynextdoor4978 11 месяцев назад

I love Maxwell. But unfortunately, I came a bit too late so the rush started. Lots of reserved tables, in the end a group of Pinay girls offered me to sit with them so I could have my Hainanese chicken rice. One of them laughed and said that she understood my desperation. I absolutely loved Singapore. Such a great place for multi-asian kitchens. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Malay, South Indian food... all great. But the highlight of the trip was definitely Hainanese Chicken rice, Roast duck, Din tai fung and items from the Nasi Kandar centres.

@wl4006 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video, Andy. Nicely done and quick to the point. Glad you enjoy SG local foods and wanna cook it. We love our chicken rice. There is another hainanese dish which you must try which is Hwa Heng Hainanese Beef noodles, located at the Bendemeer Market & Food Centre. Like Nam Kee, Hwa Heng also transcends 3 generations. Be prepared to stand in line for 50 minutes but it is So worth the wait.

@user-uk5ly3mf7j 10 месяцев назад

In Batam, Indonesia, which is very closed to Singapore that's why so many local vendors are selling Hainanese Chicken Rice here, mostly they are selling the roasted one instead of the original one. Hainanese Chicken Rice is my very comfort food since I was a kid.

@jeffcooper5138 10 месяцев назад

That thing about the rice being cooked in a way where the grind stay individual is a unicorn I’ve been chasing for a few years now. I think the secret (knowing nothing about this particular dish and only what I’ve learned cooking rice) is pressure and allowing the rice to finish off heat with the lid on. I sort of apply what I learned from making Mexican rice to other types and it has worked really well. Start on the heat, finish off the heat with the lid on.

The soy/sesame oil dressing from one of the earlier ones sounds like a nice idea for a fresh rotisserie chicken. I like the sliced tomato on the side with one of them too. That last presentation with the two types of chicken looked fabulous! I’ll have to play with all the different rice recipes that you were served. .. saving this for further study. Thanks!

@freddyfrog70 10 месяцев назад

Couple of things you can do to elevate chicken rice, 1. Ginger sauce. its yellow in color and is a fantastic accompaniment slightly bitter, gingery sort of paste, complements the fatty chicken very well. some stalls have it in just grated with some salt, some have it mixed with scalding oil. i prefer having the regular grated version of this. 2. scallion/Spring onion and ginger. very similar to the above mentioned ginger sauce but has a different flavour profile, its like a step ahead. so grated ginger, plus a nice amount of salt, plus cut scallions/spring onions and then use really hot oil to pour over the mixture and stir. ( my favorite accompaniment.) 3. The citrus flavour you taste with the chilli is actually calamansi and in my opinion, it is essential to the flavour of the chilli and cannot be substituted.
