MICHELIN Bib Gourmand chicken rice at Tiong Bahru Market — tender boneless bird with turmeric-scented rice.
Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice is a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand stalwart tucked inside Tiong Bahru Market, and for good reason. The signature boiled chicken is remarkably tender with bouncy, gelatinous skin and just the right amount of fat, while the accompanying rice carries a lovely mild turmeric aroma that sets it apart from the crowd.A standard plate starts from around $5, and the roast chicken is equally recommended if you prefer a savoury, crisp-skinned alternative. Each order comes with chilli sauce, ginger paste and a comforting bowl of chicken broth on the side — the full Hainanese experience at hawker prices that have changed little over the years.
Head up to the second floor of Tiong Bahru Market and join the patient queue for one of Singapore's finest chicken rice plates. Explore MakanSouth for more Bib Gourmand gems and hawker classics in the neighbourhood.
