Chicken Rice
is popular in both Malaysia & Singapore
and
is often referred to as
Hainan Chicken Rice
steamed rice with boiled chicken
but
nowadays it comes with roasted chicken too
Chicken Rice
is served with a special chilli sauce & ginger sauce
that makes it so different
In Singapore
it comes with an additional sweet sauce - the Black sauce!
The chicken needs to be juicy
to qualify for the name
Hainan Chicken Rice
so it must not be overcooked or dry

You are welcomed dear. If you have the will, nothing can get in your way. I also started blogging at the age of retirement. My mom is 86 years old. My mom says I am very lucky to have her around when I am already 65 now! Do drop me a line if you need any explanation on the recipe. I will be most delighted to share with you. Afterall, my purpose of having the blog is to share what I know, and also to learn from others. So glad to know another sister in Christ. God Bless you too.
