yes, the title above says it all. i love chicken rice. it's like my own version of comfort food, just like mac and cheese or pizza for Americans, i think chicken rice is one of Malaysian's popular choice of comfort food too. wait... what is the definition of comfort food exactly?
Comfort food is food prepared traditionally, that may have a nostalgic or sentimental appeal, or simply provide an easy-to-eat, easy-to-digest meal rich in calories, nutrients, or both. Comfort foods may be foods that have a nostalgic element either to an individual or a specific culture. Many comfort foods are flavorful and easily eaten, having soft consistencies. - Wikipedia
that's what Wiki says.. but i don't think chicken rice can be categorized as an easy to eat meal. my understanding of an easy to eat meal is that it must be a one dish meal. chicken rice definitely is not. you will need a few other condiments to complete this dish. however, i believe that everyone can make a tasty chicken rice, even though he/she is a bad cook for everything else. it is the naturally flavourful ingredients which makes cooking this dish easy to be accomplished - lots of ginger, and garlic.
i've always loved to try different version of chicken rice. the best chicken rice that i've ever tasted is from The Chicken Rice Shop. you might not agree with me. haha.. anyway, i've always wanted to learn making my own version of chicken rice that is similar to the taste of the one served there. therefore, when i found different recipes on the internet, i will save it to try it out later, like this one shared by the Steamy Kitchen. it is the recipe for making Hainanese chicken rice. i haven't tried making Hainanese chicken rice, because i'd always prefer my chicken to be crunchy on the outside. however, i tried Hainanese chicken rice once at TCRS and it tastes good too. besides, this is the healthier choice as the chicken is not fried. i will try this out and share the result here. i bet it will turn out wonderfully!
above is the Steamy Kitchen's Hainanese chicken rice. you might want to visit their website. they share lots of other tempting recipes to try. it is a Singaporean foodie website that i've just discovered when i was googling about this recipe.
