Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice

I had chicken with rice and after i finished it I had to have the same portion again, because it was so delicious. The service was fast and next to Ah-Tai is a drink shop, where you can buy your drinks. You just have to try the place, the food is amazing!

The owner used to be the former chef of Tian Tian chicken rice afew stalls down. I went there to get my fix after an unsatisfying lunch nearby. The quality of chicken is good and the sauce on the chicken is of the thicker kind. It tastes almost just like Tian Tian to be honest, maybe slightly better. There wasn't a queue too so that is a plus.

Tried the drumstick set. quality of chicken is good and doneness is perfect. The liver is fresh. Rice is fragrant, separated and springy. Chili is good and dark sauce is not diluted.

Chicken was moist, tender and cooked just nice without blood visible. The blended chili sauce was superb. The rice was perfectly done. TianTian was closed on the day we visited (Monday). Prices cheaper compared to TianTian. Half a chicken, 2 rice, bean sprout, liver cost us Sgd17. And Ah Tai was very friendly and accommodating. We kept going back for chili sauce refills and had to refrain from ordering more rice. Definitely coming back.
