Singapore Local Delights #6 - Hainanese Chicken Rice | 新加坡美食帖之六 「海南鸡饭」

Hainanese Chicken Rice is a national dish of Singapore. It was originally from Chinese immigrants of Hainan Province, China. CNN described Hainanese Chicken Rice is one of the "40 Singapore foods we can't live without". Moreover, it was also ranked as 45th on World's 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN Go in 2011. Chicken rice is very popular and can be found everywhere, from street hawker stalls, coffee shops to restaurants. The choice of white (steamed) or roasted chicken is commonly available at most eateries.

Do you want to try the World's cheapest Michelin-star meal? Definitely yes to me. If your answer is the same as me, you may need to visit Singapore's Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle. The humble hawker stall received a Michelin star from the world's most prestigious food guide.

It is located at 336 Smith Street, opposite of the Chinatown hawker center.






Orders can be made in the counter or a self-service electronic system machine.

The price is still affordable. From what we two ordered, the Signature Soy Sauce Chicken Rice is $3.8 (SGD), the Noodle is $4.8(SGD), Any Two Platters is $6(SGD).

The chicken was really nice, soft, juicy and well-marinated, especially the skin. The char siew tasted great too. But the noodle is a bit salty. Don't forget the dipping sauce of fresh minced red chili and garlic or ginger with dark soy sauce.

Here is a new product, a derivative from Chicken Rice.

海南鸡饭，顾名思义，是从海南移民到新加坡的鸡饭，起源于海南岛文昌市。20世纪初，传到东南亚各地。海南鸡饭也是新加坡、马来西亚非常受欢迎且普及的菜肴之一。在小贩中心、路边的咖啡店甚至是有名的餐馆，都随处可见。鸡饭有白斩鸡和烧鸡饭，大多数档口都会有这两种，对了，不要忘记美味的辣椒蘸料。

大家对世界最便宜的米其林餐厅有没有兴趣？我想都不用想，当然有啦！如果你的想法跟我一样，那一定要来试试了凡香港油鸡饭面，这个店就是获得米其林一星的曾经低调的小贩档口 - “了凡陈师傅”。

这家店坐落于牛车水地铁站附近，史密斯街336号，小贩美食中心的对面，招牌很醒目。要买食物的时候可以直接去柜台，或者利用门口的一架自助机。

价格非常合理，一份招牌油鸡饭是3块8新币，油鸡面是4块8新币，特色双拼是6块新币，不愧是最便宜的米其林餐厅，味道也丝毫不逊色。

鸡皮相当入味、不油腻，鸡肉嫩滑多汁，叉烧也吃出了黯然销魂的感觉，唯一美中不足是油鸡面有点过咸。

鸡饭算是新加坡的一道国菜了，自然少不了衍生品，瞧这个薯片就是啦。
