Chicken Rice
I think one of Asian most known dish is the “chicken rice“, steamed or roasted chicken accompanied by steamed rice.
In Brunei, nearly all Chinese kopi tiam serves excellent chicken rice but our favorite is “Moi Nam” of Seria because they usually serve very big pieces of chicken especially if you have them for take away. This outlet has another branch in KB but from our experiences, the cook at the KB branch is a bit stingy with the meat so stick to the Seria “Moi Nam” folks!
I have also recently noticed that only Brunei and Sabah serves their chicken rice with bones still intact.
In Bangkok, I was surprised when my chicken rice dish came without the bones. I thought it was a bit weird then. But on our last trip to Singapore, I then noticed that the chicken rice that I had there were also this way!
I’m not sure which I prefer best but I think either way, chicken rice is still one of the best Asian dish there is.
i always tell the waitress that i want chicken ‘breast’ rice cause chicken ‘breast’ is usually what we call boneless chicken i guess and that’s why you don’t find the bones still intact when you’re ordering chicken ‘breast’ rice.
Hunnie, I see…but I actually prefer it with bones although hubby always say I waste so much meat, LOL.
