Singapore Chicken Rice Set includes chili sauce, pandan rice, soya sauce dressing, tips and tricks to cook tender and juicy chicken.
Chicken rice has a special place in the hearts of many Singaporeans and also of those who traveled, worked and lived there before. It is incredibly affordable, accessible and widely popular! Every corner of a street will surely have a chicken rice shop, and what's not to love about it? Juicy chicken, fragrant and flavourful rice, paired with wonderful tangy spicy chili sauce. It is nutritious, good for you, and also for your pocket!
I often had chicken rice for lunch or dinner, sometimes even supper! Different stores have different ways of preparing chicken rice, but nevertheless, they all have 3 main components: steam (or sometimes roasted) chicken, rice, and chili sauce.
Of course, there are many commercial paste/seasoning sauces for chicken rice, but if you want to enjoy the original taste of Singapore Chicken Rice, let's make it from scratch!!
