Culinary Gem at Holland Drive: The Unmissable Margaret Drive Chicken Rice

 


In the heart of Holland Drive, nestled amongst the vibrant hawker stalls, stands a culinary beacon for all Singaporean food aficionados: Margaret Drive Chicken Rice. This humble stall might not boast the frills and fancies of high-end eateries, but oh, does it pack a punch with its delectable offerings!

Savouring the Essence of Singapore

For a dish as seemingly simple as chicken rice, the experience at Margaret Drive transcends the ordinary. Opting for the medium serving at $4.50, we embarked on a gastronomic journey, rich in flavour and authenticity. The generous portions of meat immediately set Margaret Drive apart from its counterparts. Asking for breast meat, often the toughest to perfect, we were eager to judge their mastery.

More Than Just a Plate of Chicken Rice

The breast meat, while not the most tender we've encountered, was impressively juicy and far from dry. The real star of the show, however, was the rice. Exceptionally tasty, it was everything one desires in the perfect chicken rice: grainy yet soft, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. This base was not just a side but a standout on its own.

Adorning the plate, sliced cucumbers were scattered with a liberal hand, lending a freshness that balanced the rich flavours beautifully. It transformed this simple dish into a feast for the eyes, adding an authentic touch to the meal.

A Symphony of Flavours

No review of Margaret Drive Chicken Rice would be complete without mentioning the homemade chili and ginger sauces. The chili sauce was a lovely concoction of spice and flavour, while the ginger sauce brought a punchy, deep flavour that complemented the chicken and rice perfectly. These condiments elevated the dish from great to extraordinary, encapsulating the robust local flavours Singapore is celebrated for.

A Must-Visit for Food Lovers

Margaret Drive Chicken Rice stands as a testament to the fact that great food doesn't need to be complicated or expensive. At just $4.50 for a medium plate, it delivers an unmatched culinary experience, rooted deeply in Singaporean culture. This hawker stall is not just selling chicken rice; it's offering a slice of Singapore's rich culinary heritage. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic local flavour explosion!

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
