On a typical 12pm lunch hour, the queue was tremendously long. Not sure if it's because of the launch of Hawker Heros Challenge that causes the sudden surge in people trying out Tian Tian. There were roughly 20 people in front of me, and the waiting time was about 20 - 25 minutes.

The best part of this plate of chicken rice that eventually won my heart over is the fragrant and moisture chicken rice. Because it's moist enough, the rice aren't too firm and hard. As for the taste, the rice was honestly very fragrant and tasty, so good that I think it's better than the chickenIt is quite a disappointment to find out that the chicken meat tasted really mediocre. To make sure it's not only my own opinion, I asked my fellow colleagues (about 4-5 of them) and they all agree that the chicken was not the winning point for Tian Tian. The chicken meat itself is indeed tender and succulent, but they lack the ability to retain the moisture in the chicken meat.
The chicken meat served was slightly thick and wide, so the texture wasn't too nice. Tender and soft, but dry and not so moist. However, I do like the flavourful chili sauce that comes with the chicken rice. Not only is it spicy, but it has a hint of lime sauce and sugary taste. This is probably one of the best chicken rice chili sauce I've ever tasted.
