Been wanting to try Tian Tian Le Hainanese Chicken Rice (#04-38 Beauty World Centre, 144 Upper Bukit Timah Road) for some time and it finally happened. Just to get it out of the way, the dark soya sauce you can help yourself to are the sweet ones - the type used for soon kueh. Not the regular type that most chicken rice stalls use.

Soup on the side is chicken soup with pandan flavour. 👍🏼

Chicken was unexpected chilled - which was nice. Meat was cut chunky and even the breast meat was tender.

Rice had a light garlic and ginger flavour. Did not mind the ginger in it. Probably because it was "toned down" by the garlic or maybe it wasn't so strong in the first place. Or maybe both. But this was probably one of the rare ginger flavoured rice that I kinda liked. 

Chilli was lime-y and also slightly gingery which I also did not mind. Paired well with the saltiness from the chicken dressing on the rice.

Some protein. The sweet dark soy sauce worked with these.
