Chicken rice is one of the most popular dish in Singapore and you can find this dish literally everywhere. The technique of finding a reputable stall is as easy as tracking down the longest queue, and my journey led me to the stall-front of Yishun 925 Chicken Rice.
Usually, stalls tend to serve an assortment of meats such as char siu (Barbeque pork) or siu yuk (Roasted pork), but at this particular establishment, steamed chicken is their specialty. Sides are also limited to Crystal Chicken Feet (3.00) and Chicken Organs (3.00).

Rice is just as important as the chicken, thus the term chicken "rice". The rice served here is aromatic, soft and infused with chicken stock for a mild savoriness.

A key component to Chicken rice is the condiments. Even though ginger is not served here, there is the standard dark soy-sauce that provides a sweet-salty flavor, and the chili providing the right amount of heat to the dish.

The crystal chicken feet provides an interesting gelatinous and chewy texture, but little flavor aside from the soy-sauce. The chicken liver was slightly overcooked for my preference, thus the gritty and dry texture instead of a smooth Pâté like consistency. Gizzards were sold out during my visit.

Skillfully deboned, chopped and dressed in an emulsion of light soy-sauce and sesame oil, the glistening steamed chicken is rested on a bed of sliced cucumber, served with a portion of acar on the side.

As I ordered the half chicken, instead of the regular plate of chicken rice (3.00/4.00), there was a mix of both dark meat and white meat.

The boneless meat has a silky smooth appearance with a firm and springy texture. Served at a cold temperature, the flesh was juicy and succulent. Some people remove it, but I can't miss out on the layer of slippery soft skin that literally falls apart in your mouth. Definitely one of the best place to have Chicken Rice.
