Foo of Taste Hainanese Chicken Rice, International Plaza

Foo of Taste Hainanese Chicken Rice, International Plaza

Interesting name this stall (#01-06 International Plaza, 10 Anson Road) has. Should one Google the name of the stall, there would be only one other relevant result from a particular website that's either shamefully incompetent and/or didn't care the least about their generic writeup since it technically imparted no information to anyone who knew chicken rice and even had to pilfer an image of Thai chicken rice for that writeup.

Back to Foo of Taste. Rice was flavoured and lightweight. Chilli was of the slightly more gingery variety without lime. I suppose that and the rice together wasn't particularly outstanding but I liked the rice with the achar which they also sold. That's the $1 portion below.

Their boiled chicken wasn't those of the tender slurp off the bone variety. Meat's a little grainier and more bite with a bit more pronounced chicken-y flavour from both the meat and the skin. That was also because the serving wasn't doused with as much sesame oil and soy sauce as most. What I didn't expect were the bits of gelatin underneath the skin. Flavourful bits of gelatin.
