After having the Hainanese Chicken Rice at Tian Tian in Singapore, it is hard to find one that compares in Melbourne (excepting of course, Dan’s Mum’s version!). I don’t know what it is, but I just adore the garlicky scented stock flavoured rice, the smooth, luscious, silky chicken, and the tangy gingery/lime chilli sauce. It is Singapore comfort food at its best.
There is ALWAYS a queue out the front of this Hawker store – a very popular place for the locals.

The Jman looooves his chicken rice too! I’ve got a recipe somewhere on my blog if you could be bothered to make it. It’s actually pretty simple once you’ve tried it even though the recipe seems very long!
Oooh – thanks for the recipe. I must certainly attempt this one!
I didn’t realise they used pandan in the rice. Do you stick that in the rice-cooker as well?
You’re most welcome
And yes, you leave the pandan in the rice cooker. Go nuts with the pandan leaves. The more the merrier, and the more fragrant the rice will be!
Thanks for the tip! Must go buy myself a nice chicken now…
Make sure it’s free range so it’s got the “kampung chicken” flavour. Good luck with the recipe!
Ahh, sheer perfection. Too bad we can’t get anything NEAR to this flavour in melbourne
Hey darryl – I concur
Hopefully I can recreate it myself with the recipe above!
