Good Year Local Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball

I am a Hainanese and so is Claudia. Think Jesus may be one too :)

Unlike the Cantonese, we Hainanese are not famous with many cuisines. However, what we have, we are really good at it. I am obviously referring to the famous chicken rice.

There is this place in Toa Payoh that I have enjoyed a couple of times already. It is located in Block 111, Toa Payoh Lorong 1 #01-366. A full meal for 2 persons would only cost you S$10.50.

The key speciality is the Chicken Rice Ball. My grandma used to make it this way too. Everyone is handmade and it is rather unique.

The chicken is fantastic and the chilly is out of this world. Even as I am writing now, I am salivating. The sauce and the chicken is a perfect combination. They also serve peanut soup as well. It goes really well with the rest of the meal. You must also try the Hainanese Chap Chai too.

It really feels like Chinese New Year at my grandma's place in my growing up years. Wonderful labour of love home-cooked food.

Taste it to believe how good Hainanese food can be!
