Hainanese Chicken Rice (Singapore)



Originally invented on Hainan, a tropical island in southern China, the humble Hainanese chicken rice has become one of the most popular dishes in Singapore. It consists of steamed chicken cut into bite-sized pieces and then served with fragrant white rice.

When taken to a serving plate, soy sauce and sesame oil are drizzled, served with sliced ​​cucumbers and spicy hot sauce. Frequently, the evaporated liquid is then seasoned and served as a soup. The recipe was brought to Singapore by Hainanese immigrants in the 19th century, and the first vendor in Singapore to sell this unique dish opened its counter in the 1940s.

However, there are some differences between the Haina and Singapore versions of the dish: Hainans prefer to use pork broth and serve the dish with ground ginger instead of hot sauce. Regardless of the original, the Singaporean version has become a favorite variety and is often referred to today simply as Singapore chicken rice.

Although it is also served in restaurants, this well-known dish is often sold by street vendors, which can be found on every street corner in Singapore.
