A recipient of the Michelin's Bib Gourmand this year and last, this Hainanese chicken rice stall is one of Tastemaker Julius Lim's favourites, and in his opinion, the star in the humble plate of Chicken Rice (from $3) is undeniably the rice. He deems it to be one of the most aromatic versions one can find in Singapore (and not overly oily); to him, the rice shines so brightly that it risks overshadowing the chicken, which itself is cooked beautifully, sliced into thick, moist and tender pieces. Apart from the usual condiments of dark soy sauce, chilli and ginger, the dish also comes with a small portion of preserved vegetables, so good for an extra shot of umami!
Avg Price: $5 per person
