Bukit Merah View stall serving silky poached chicken and fragrant rice in the Hainanese tradition.
Yuan Li Hai at Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre is a Hainanese chicken rice stall that takes the national dish seriously. The poached chicken is silky and tender, its skin glistening with a light soy glaze, served over rice cooked in chicken broth with pandan and ginger for an aromatic, flavourful base.The accompanying chilli sauce, ginger paste and dark soy sauce are essential companions, each contributing its own dimension of heat, pungency and umami to the dish. The chicken broth soup on the side is clear and comforting, a gentle counterpoint to the bold flavours of the condiments.
Yuan Li Hai delivers a solid, satisfying plate of Hainanese chicken rice at Bukit Merah View. It is a dish that needs no introduction, only a good stall to make it.
