The nicest thing about this sort of chicken rice is not just the chicken. It is also the rice. And so good is it that I could come down here any day just for a bowl of their plain steamed rice.
But that would be a very silly thing to do, as the second nicest thing about this kampong chicken rice place at Tiong Bahru is, of course, the chicken. Served white (they don't do roast), with very tender, skilfully sliced meat, there are no bones, there are no funny parts, the meat does not have icky reddish blood, and the skin of the white chicken has to be the nicest I have ever eaten.
