Food Review - Hainan Chicken Rice

The Hainan chicken rice is a very popular menu throughout Asia, especially in Thailand. My favorite chicken rice restaurants are located in Pratunam, Saladaeng, and Charoenkrung. But today, I'm going to talk about the dish in general. It usually consists of only either steamed or fried chicken, oily rice and cucumber, and a bowl of soup. Although the combination seems simple, but the taste is perfectly complex.

Before you start eating the chicken rice, you can choose, depending on the restaurant, whether you want to accompany the chicken with blood curd, the most common, or other parts of a chicken such as the intestine, liver, and even kidney. I personally enjoy blood curd the most, it is also believed by many that eating it improves your blood flow.

Aside from the mentioned, choosing the right dipping sauce is also an important step. You may find a variety of sauces put in a big container in front of you and start to have dilemmas. All the sauces look and smell different, which one should you choose? The most popular sauce is the brownish colored one. It is filled with spices and chili. The second most popular is also brown, except this one is more gooey. It provides a sweet taste. The choice of dipping sauce depends totally on you, whether you like salty and spicy, plain sweet, or any other.

All in all, the Hainan chicken rice is not well-known for nothing. The boneless chicken, the soup, the oily rice, the side dishes, and the dipping sauce are all put together to form a miraculous combo. Since this is discovered, you should at least give it a try before you don't get the chance to. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.
