After cooking Hainanese chicken rice for so many years, is chicken rice still your favourite dish?
Yes, chicken rice definitely remains my favourite dish of all time. I often find myself ordering chicken rice when I go out for a meal. Perhaps it is also to compare my chicken rice with the other stalls. However, I have to say that I still like my own chicken rice the best! Chicken rice is tasty, but unfortunately, it is not known to be a very healthy dish. Have you tried to moderate your recipe to make it more appealing to the increasingly health-conscious Singaporeans? Not really. I have not made any significant changes to the chicken rice recipe given by my brother. Honestly, if I were to reduce the amount of oil in the recipe, the rice wouldn’t be as fragrant and fluffy. My customers will surely complain. Perhaps those who are more health-conscious can choose to eat chicken rice just once a week, and try to eat home-cooked food more often? Besides, other popular local dishes such as laksa and char kway teow are equally oily, so I guess there is no harm eating these types of food,
