Chicken Rice – Singapore’s national dish


Singapore is justifiably famous for it’s food, especially the tasty treats concocted at hawker stands across the country. There are over 100 hawker food centers in Singapore, serving cheap eats at all hours of the day. But the best dish of all, in my opinion, is chicken rice.

On the surface, this is a very simple dish. Steamed chicken (sometimes roasted), served with a side of fragrant rice. It’s served with a broth soup, some spicy chili sauce, and maybe some veggies. But it is soooo good!

If you pay more than $4 for it, you’re eating in the wrong hawker stand. Here are a few of my favorite locations.

  • Empress Mall
  • Zion Riverside Food Centre
  • Toa Payoh Food Centre
  • Chinatown Complex
