Revision as of 20:31, 12 June 2005 by La goutte de pluie (talk | contribs) (clarification)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Hainanese chicken rice is a dish common in Singapore and Malaysia, where it was invented by immigrants from Hainan in China. It consists of rice cooked in chicken stock (sometimes called "oily rice,") served with steamed or roast chicken. The remaining chicken stock not used to cook the rice is often used to make soup. The rice and chicken are usually served with sliced cucumber, pounded ginger, and a tangy chilli sauce. Some chicken rice stalls include Five Star Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore which has many stalls islandwide.
Regional variations of this dish include:
- Ipoh chicken rice, from the Malaysian town of Ipoh, which is served with bean sprouts.
- Chicken rice balls, from the Malaysian town of Malacca, where the rice is rolled into balls before serving.
