With a multitude of cuisines that can represent Singapore’s diverse and delectable dishes, one of the most iconic of them is definitely Chicken Rice.
Trying to find the best Chicken Rice in Singapore is such a hard quest to venture on. Every Singaporean from all walks of life will share with you a different answer on where they think the best plate of chicken rice can be found.
You might’ve searched from every possible source to find the best chicken in Singapore but this is a slightly different take on it as we will be listing the Halal status of these stores. So here are some of the best places in Singapore to get Chicken Rice or as some of us like to call it, Nasi Ayam, listed in no particular order.
Starting off the list with a gem hidden, Sedap Corner Nasi Ayam Hainan. You can easily spot this stall around noon time just by the long queue that is present at their stall. This chicken rice store has been around since 2013 and continues to serve delicious plates of Nasi Ayam to this day. Their rice is simmered in a savory broth of chicken and ginger. The chicken is slowly roasted, giving the chicken a soft texture. You will get to enjoy a lovely plate of concentrated chicken flavor paired with their homemade garlic chili sauce.
Make sure to visit their store before noon in order to beat the lunch crowd!
