Just to clear a few misconceptions about Singapore. 1) it is not in China 2) even though majority of the people in Singapore is chinese, it is NOT a chinese country. Buzzfeed left out that Singapore is made out of four races: Indian, Malay, Eurasian and Chinese.

[@quack5203]

I still can't figure out why people think that Singapore is in China...

[@magicalworl34]

another misconception about Singapore 3) Their food are just carbon copies of Malaysian food. None of their food will exist if Malaysia did not exist.

[@melanim9943]

I'm telling you guys... this dish is the real deal. It is amazing in all forms. I was born/raised in the Philippines. I have never had bad Hainanese chicken. I've had it in night markets in Singapore, food stalls in the Philippines and high class restaurants too. This dish is just hands down one of my favorite non-Filipino dishes of all time

[@mheaz_nazy]

Yass sg chicken rice is the beeeeeeest

[@solacechannel8045]

@Melani M how does it compare to tinola? I assume it has same flavors.

[@naomic2353]

solacechannel Very different for me! The sesame oil and scallions reeeeaaallly makes a difference + the other sauces that come with chicken rice. Tinola is usually flavored with patis (which I love) but I’m not a fan (even if it’s made from those spring chickens with the yellow fat hahaha like the ones u can find in the province, i think u know what i mean haha!). Different flavor profiles in my opinion!

[@nevadastreak]

It's tinola deconstructed!! Edit: to a whole other level of gooooood

[@missylucianna5236]

I made hainanese chicken rice last year and it tasted like tinola. Hahaha

[@williamfrederico1605]

Thank you for this. I would have never cooked what is essentially "boiled chicken" if I didn't see you prepare this. We made chicken rice tonight and my whole gang loved it. The dipping sauces are amazing. Thanks for a new dish in our rotation!

[@tamz0309]

This is actually one of my favorite videos on KZbin. She did an awesome job of explaining why this dish is super important to her. I’ve watched it 50 times now 😂😂 maybe this weekend I will make the dish.

[@JialxEmo]

I'm Singaporean too and she's absolutely right about everything, proud to see a Singaporean at the States bringing in some of our culture wherever they go. And you go girl! Live your life yall :)

[@suneetchincholkar9021]

The Oscarless Actress I am an Indian and have grown up here and I say that this recipe is shitty and so are you

[@theoscarlessactress2748]

ironic how the only comments of someone complaing is from an Indain, just proves im right.

[@M2OSN]

Ylendeth I hope the best for you. I hope your family loves you. I hope they cherish you and fill your mind with more love for others. I hope that you are able to overcome your negativity as well. Please keep in mind that many may not have come on their own accord, and even on their own will, they may have been dealing with issues of resentment with their own country such as yourself. I understand that you’re mad and frustrated, but lashing a stranger out will do nothing in ceasing the anger you hold (especially when you target a sole person). I wish the best for you and your future. 💗

Awww after watching Tasty for so long, I finally realised that Singapore is also represented!! It's possibly the closest recipe to what my mum does at home too!! Your chicken rice puts many other imitation to shame !!

[@Life_Weekend]

I love this! A recipe with a story. Especially ones that bring families together, and I think that’s a lot of what food means in Asian cultures.

[@seokdoespilates]

Hello Nikki from Singapore. I often watch your vids and am thrilled to learn that you are made in Singapore, just like me, haha. I am going to try out your sauces as I have not made them from scratch before. I used to make chicken rice from scratch when I studied in the UK back in the 90s: the ginger-garlic-sesame fragrance of the chicken and the rice was a strong reminder of home during those long, cold winter nights. The other tenants in my block would comment on the lovely smells coming out of my flat. Keep the food vids coming!

[@user-vx9mh3vc5n]

I’ve never wanted to make anything more! It looks sooooo flavorful!

I am Hainanese and thank you so much for sharing this dish here. I am from the town where Hainanese chicken or Wenchang-nese chicken originated. The way we cook it is more simple than what is shown here. The key is to have the best home raised chicken. My family raise chicken using rice while you can also use sweet potato. If the chicken skin is yellow means it is raised using corn, which doesn’t make much difference flavor-wise

[@Satikal]

I love Singapore and it’s food I lived in Singapore with my mom when I was about 10 years old I’m 24 now and the thing I miss the most about Singapore is chicken rice I used to eat it every week just because it was so good, now every time I eat it, it feels very nostalgic lol

[@bezeertorres]

I'm Mexican from the Baja region, where we have delicious tacos and all kinds of fresh seafood. When I visited Singapore, I was completely blown away by the range of flavors. I could tell it was top-quality food with incredible depth of flavor.

[@meen8735]

Roy Moreno yes! ramadhan is a month on the islamic calendar where you fast for a month! we dont eat start from suhoor(dawn) until iftar(dusk). this month is good bcs it actually shows people how is it like to be in the same shoe as the poor. :)

[@idraco4729]

Roy Moreno it is a blessed month that the holy Quran is revealed we don’t eat or drink so we can be spiritual closer to god it’s more like feed your soul than your body and it can be counted as a holiday but not really eid is more like a holiday in terms

[@moonfireproduction1521]

I'm a Malaysian Chinese and that's almost close to what my grandma makes. Cooking the rice in chicken broth really brings a whole other level of flavor to it! We usually also add a "pandan" leaf, it's super aromatic

[@cchan353]

I think I can do this! I’m a terrible cook but I miss Singaporean food and I got to try and make it on my own, you just can’t find this anywhere here in the US.

if you are scared, then try to eat one first. you'll manage to get the base taste. then you try to make it depending on the recipe. you may combine several recipes into one. maybe one time isn't enough, try several times. but start in small batches. for me, i like what i cook generally, but to be perfect as the one i copied, must be perfected several times. i bet you'll manage it. chinese food is much simpler rather than malay or indian with those long list of spice. hahaha.
