Ming Ji Chicken Rice - Chilled Steamed Chicken Rice

 My friend has been raving to me about this chicken rice stall in Bishan and we are finally going there for dinner. 

Ming Ji Chicken Rice - Stall Front

Ming Ji Chicken Rice is hugely popular among Bishan residents, evident from the snaking long queues at meal times. 

Ming Ji Chicken Rice only sells Steamed Chicken 白斩鸡 [S$14 for Half Chicken, S$27 for Whole Chicken]. Roast chicken lovers will have to take a back seat here. 

Solo diners can get either Steamed Chicken Rice 白斩鸡饭 [S$3.50], Chicken Drumstick Rice 鸡腿饭 [S$4.50] or Chicken Thigh Rice 鸡尾饭 [S$6]. Additional rice costs S$0.50 per plate.

Ming Ji Chicken Rice is special because the steamed chicken is dunked in ice water until it is ready to be chopped up. The chicken is served cold. Shocking the chicken this way creates a layer of jelly underneath the skin, keeping the meat flavorful and succulent. The cold chicken goes extremely well with the steamed rice but the chilli sauce is too watery for my liking. 

Ming Ji Chicken Rice also sells 4 side dishes: Chicken Feet 鸡脚 [S$2/S$3/S$5], Bean Sprout 豆芽 [S$2/S$3/S$5], Oyster Sauce Vegetable 油菜 [S$3/S$4] and Chicken Organ 内脏 [S$2/S$3]. 

Ming Ji Chicken Rice only sells steamed (white) chicken rice and it is served chilled.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
