While the rice is firm and not to oily, it lacks the fragrant aroma from the chicken fats that really gives chicken rice the additional oomph. The chicken is not as tender as the other two places on our list, but it is well marinated and has a good flavour. What makes this chicken rice stall a contender is really the chili sauce, which has a nice garlicky flavour, fresh zesty notes from lime juice, and a spicy kick from the finely ground chilies.

The smooth and almost silky grains of rice were nicely covered in a fragrant blend of ginger and chicken fats, and offers unparalleled satisfaction when you have it with their unique chili sauce. The chili sauce gives a fiery kick, but is well balanced by the garlicky notes and mild aroma from dried orange peel. But the pièce de résistance here is definitely the gelatinous, moist chicken that oozes flavour in every bite. The accompanying sauce is also not as sweet as the other two contenders.

The rice was rather one dimensional as it lacked fragrance and flavour, and the chicken was slightly dry when eaten on its own. Although the sauce does wonders in adding moisture to the meat, it was too sweet. The chili was also lacklustre as it didn’t have the punch from the garlic, and wasn’t spicy enough.
