This chicken rice stall is located just opposite one of the famous carrot cake stalls -serving up delectable Hainanese Chicken Rice to patrons.A $3 portion would get you a plate of fragrant chicken rice, a side plate of chicken and a bowl of soup.First off, the rice is really super fragrant -the grains are slightly oily and the texture is near-perfect. There is a hint of ginger in the rice, and it's savouriness makes it perfect to just have on its own. The rice portion is also just nice -guys ma

First off, the rice is really super fragrant -the grains are slightly oily and the texture is near-perfect. There is a hint of ginger in the rice, and it's savouriness makes it perfect to just have on its own. The rice portion is also just nice -guys may want to "加饭“ (or add rice) haha.The chicken is smooth and not too dry, it's perfect with the oil and soy sauce -not too oily and not too salty either. The thinly sliced chicken gives it a great texture. The chilli isn't too spicy, I could have done with spicier chilli! It's tangy and packs a punch though, when eaten with the ginger (that was a tad watery to be honest), it's heavenly
The soup is tasty too -it has a slightly medicinal aftertaste that I cannot quite put my finger on. It's not unpleasant though, it does have a nice touch to it and it complements the entire dish well.
All in all, this $3 is well worth your money!! I recommend asking for breast meat -it's not too dry because of the thickness of the sliced chicken. Definitely worth a try.
