Hainanese Chicken Rice from Gourmet Paradise @ HDB Hub

Hainanese Chicken Rice, Gourmet Paradise @ HDB Hub

My first chicken rice after the export halt from Malaysia. I've had take away chicken rice from this stall at the food court of HDB Hub (#B1-01 HDB Hub, 480 Toa Payoh Lorong 6) a few times and they've consistently been pretty decent. Instead of closing and waiting out the chilled chicken drought, these folks have decided to continue business with the frozen chickens, but only using the bird's thighs and drumstick.

Sadly, the meat's not as tender as the usual because it's frozen chicken...not that we had expected otherwise in this situation. It's stiffer which made a whole lot of difference in the textural aspect for poached chickens. Here's to hoping that the supply of fresh birds resume soon.
