So the thing that looks like a scoop of fried ice cream is chicken rice? Cool!

So what's the other stuff?

*I am quite ignorant when it comes to exotic foods.*

The "other exotic foods" seem to be Cucumber, Tomato & green onion.

Hmm - not very exotic..

You should try another variation of it, eating rice balls instead of rice(not onigiri but the rice is rolled to a ball). It's better imo.

chicken lice, better than flyed lice. ^^ 
always thought fried rice, chicken rice and java rice tasted different in Japan. must be the kind of lice... I mean rice they use. ^^
note that different doesn't mean it's bad. I actually like the Japan version. it's just that it doesn't taste authentic. ^^

Chicken rice! I think there not much difference between SG and MY chicken rice right? o.o
I prefer the roasted(?) chicken. The one where the skin is brownish...

Is Danny trying to spend less by ordering plain water? ^^;

Hainan Chicken rice isn't something I really like. I'm more of a beef person myself. I do like the soup that comes with the chicken though. Good thing lots of orders come with it.

Oh my, I usually have this when I go back to my hometown. Parents nowadays are lazy to cook at home so we usually go down to the stalls near my housing estate. Fav is still "tu kar pui" .aka Pork Leg lice. Could find it at sg's open air stalls at Lavender St. 

Yummy stuff.
