Chicken Rice
The well-known dish made famous to foreigners by the Chatterbox restaurant at the Mandarin Hotel in Orchard Road. Most versions originate from the Hainanese style of steamed chicken served with chicken stock flavoured rice. Today, most stalls offer a 'brown' or roasted chicken meat as well and this version is probably even more popular than the 'white' steamed version which is more difficult to keep as fresh. Some places offer a rarer soya-sauce steamed version that is not roasted.

Ayam penyet - a chicken thigh-wing that is pummelled to loosen the meat from the bones
Ah ha ! Murder most fowl - a closer look at the poor piece of smashed up chicken meat

Located at #B1-31 Golden Mile Food Centre, 505 Beach Road, Singapore 199583
Show me on mapThis is the Golden Mile (Beach Road) hawker centre branch of the Sri Bistari chain of ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken), which is an Indonesian (the owner of Sri Bistari reportedly first discovered the dish in Batam) version of chicken rice where a chicken thigh/wing is pummelled and served on a wooden board with a sweet chilli paste and vegetables. It seems the hype over this dish, starting from the end of last year(2006), has died down somewhat. The verdict: a pretty average fried chicken and passable rice to go with it. The best part was actually the chilli paste, which was spicy yet sweet and had a tinge of garlicky flavour (another of my fav. spices). Update May 2007:On a second trip here, my friend and I both agreed that the standard (specifically the fried chicken) has dropped and is now barely passable. Nope, pummelling a not-so-tasty fried chicken thigh/wing isn't going to make it taste any better. Let's hope they do something about the quality of the chicken. I'd hate to see this dish disappear from the Singapore food scene.

Loy Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice 黎记海南鸡饭

Categories: Chinese, Chicken Rice, Hainanese, Hawker
Located at #01-567 Whampoa Food Centre (temp site replacing former Blocks 90 & 91), near Block 90, Whampoa Drive, Singapore 320090
Show me on mapThis stall has branched out into many outlets throughout Singapore including West Mall, Eastpoint and Marina Square among others. It also has a corner coffeeshop-style eatery along Balestier Road. I ordered a roast chicken rice packet here on a Sunday (Mar 2007), and the rice and chicken meat were both not up to par. It was totally unexpected considering that this stall was once a Yummy King awardee (you see the placard on their stallfront) and endorsed as "Chicken Lickin Good" by Margaret Chan in the Sunday Times (marketing blurb on their white styrofoam packets). Truly, another stall/chain that has fallen victim to the curse of the foodie award and chain expansion. I can't say for the other outlets, but for this one: not worth your trip at all.
