阿仔, Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice

Chicken Rice ($2.50)

Tian Tian Chicken Rice devotees were island wide Singapore - and travel guides point you to them; not to miss the "Singapore's Chicken Rice" on your holiday here. 

Undoubtedly, Tian Tian rank high on my personal chart. Then things got interesting when there's the Chicken Rice War at Maxwell Food Centre between Tian Tian and their Chief Chef - Liang Tai. A dispute gave rise to Liang Tai setting up his own Chicken rice stall with competitive pricing to rival his former employer.

Ah-Tai Chicken rice is value-for-money, being really close to the former. Discerning customers however cited their less juicy chicken breast and the less fragrant rice. But one thing's for sure, when you want to save that extra pennies and Tian Tian is drawing a waiting queue, you would easily pop over to Ah-Tai.

I thoroughly enjoyed their plate.
