Japanese Singapore Chicken Rice

 
Japanese Singapore Chicken Rice
This is the Singapore Chicken Rice served at Lalaport in Toyosu. Tastes pretty good. I've never tried it in Singapore though - does it look anything like this?

Well it pretty much encompasses what a chicken rice in Singapore looks like: chicken, rice, a few slices of cucumber and also not forgetting some chilli.

But i can't really tell what those garnishes are... 

Gets me hungry just by commenting. =x

Danny, just come and have the original! Even though chicken rice is a commodity in Singapore, there are quite a number of stores which are top-notch for a reasonable price.

I think they used Japanese rice for it. It looks all sticky! For looks, it's pretty much the same. Taste wise, can't really tell ^^;

Oh! We don't add slices of tomatoes to the dish. You should try the fried pork rice if you do visit Singapore. Lovely dish!

Hmm everything looks the same except as what the above have touched upon, the tomatoes. Other then that the cucumber are sliced a bit differently in Singapore. I've seen mostly the cucumbers cut vertically

It looks like the same stuff in Malaysia too. Recently the local newspaper lauched a country wide searched for the Best Hainanese Chicken Rice. Even did a research on whose the first to make it popular, Malaysia or Singapore ?

Looks delicious but the rice looks a little soggy. Personally I would love to have the soya sauce for dipping the chicken instead of on the rice.

looks not bad, though over here the sauces are usually placed separately. Presentation wise, almost the same. 

Found this link, it shows how chicken rice is usually served over here:

First pic in the link is the usual hawker style, second one is more upmarket.

Danny, i am a Singaporean myself studying in Canada. As you know, Chicken Rice is a Hainanese dish and coincidentally I am part Hainanese and cantonese. For many years, i have eaten CR, still Singapore is the best. If you really want to try a good CR, try Hainan Island, junkers/Bonkers street in KL and Singapore(Maxwell hawker Ctr). they are all good. The one in the pic looks decent, but it is still pics. If you pop by Singapore, TRY IT!!!!!!

I don't remember having slices of tomatos in Singapore's "Hainanese chicken rice" and usually the dark sauce, yellow stuff and chilli is on a smaller side dish. Chicken looks pretty authentic tho but yes you gotta go to Singapore to try the "real" thing sometime! ;P

Nicely done and you asked for the thigh/drumstick area nice.

Still in Singapore the best ones are surprisingly the lower profile ones at a cheaper price than the ones served in restaurants.

although I love Japanese Gohan, I do find it strange how differently cooked rice in Japan still has a Japanese taste to it. ^^ I tried eating Mexican style cooked rice and Chinese fried rice there. they were really good (probably even better than the real ones). but still, it didn't taste authentic. ^^;

Yeah actually I prefer boneless chicken rice.. and roasted chicken instead of the white steamed one which tends to be fattier but juicer.

I can't tell from the picture but is that Japanese rice? The rice grains used here in Singapore are mainly Thai rice. It's a longer grain compared to the shorter Japanese rice. Texture is slightly dryer (with the same amount of water added to cook it). 

The rice is cooked with chicken stock/broth, garlic bulbs, ginger juice and some oil. Some hawkers throw in Pandan leaves for added flavour. 

Usually if the rice don't taste good, the chicken won't too and oh ya and I think you generally get a smaller portion here in SG. :3

Quite embellished compared to the local one. Bet it costs more than your standard S$2 (approx. 160 yen?). They used Japanese rice too.

Try something Singaporean-Malay too, Danny. Wonder if they have anything Malay in Japan...

It's almost the same. But in Singapore most of the stalls don't have that many types of garnishing. Bet having it in Japan would be a totally differerent taste than in S'pore.

oooh looks good man :D do come to Singapore to try our chicken rice :D But the serving portion is a little wrong. we would have less vegi and more chicken. and it that meso soup? if it is .. we don't drink meso soup with chicken rice.

But do put more of the black sauce(the one thats on the rice) on the chicken and the rich
