Hainanese Chicken Rice


How to eat - Singaporean style
Originally uploaded by sab-chan.
Step by step instructions on how to eat a steamed chicken rice dish.

1) With a spoon, dab some sauce on top of steamed chicken - you could sauce it individually or mix all sauces together.

2) Using a spoon like a knife, cut the steamed chicken into desired portions.

3) Using a fork, shove the cut chicken and fragrant rice together onto a spoon.

4) In one shot, EAT! Just focus on myriad of bursting flavours.

5) Have a sip of chicken soup to cleanse your palate.

6) Ahh!!! The perfect balance of steamed chicken and heavenly flavoured fragrant rice. Complemented by the complexity of the sauces. Perfect!

My favourite step is step six. If you look closely, you have to wag the chopsticks about while they are still in your mouth. Less practiced patrons often suffer from splinters...
