It helps to have your office in a prime location, and it gets even better when there is a large and diverse food court to serve your culinary desires near by. We walked down to the Suntec City food court from office for lunch today, and came to this large and bustling food court, serving every local dish you could think of, and at very affordable rates. My target for today was local cuisine and, although its roots are in China, the Hainanese Chicken Rice was a classic example of Singaporean cuisine.
The chicken is prepared in traditional Hainanese methods which involve the boiling of the entire chicken in a pork and chicken bone stock, reusing the broth over and over, and only topping it up with water when needed. Rice is separately prepared with chicken stock, and a dash of coconut milk, giving it an oily flavor. Accompanying the chicken rice was fried tofu with mayonnaise, traditional Chinese soup, and vegetables cooked in sesame oil with deep fried garlic. All in all, a perfect meal that was an instant hit with my stomach!
Oh, and yeah, here's a pic of the hot chick who joined me for lunch today :)
