Chicken Rice


    

What is Chicken Rice

Chicken Rice is a rice meal of Hainanese origin that has taken root in Malaysia. It is one of the popular food found in Penang coffee shops. The chicken rice sold in Penang is usually served over a bed of sliced cucumber, sprinkled with chopped spring onion and drenched in oily soy sauce. Both roasted as well as steamed chicken are available. The rice is cooked in chicken stock, which makes it oily and gives it a mouth-watering aroma.

Some chicken rice stalls also sell charsiew (barbecued pork), siew bak (roasted pork), labcheung (pork sausage) as well as roasted duck. If the stall advertises itself as an "Ipoh Chicken Rice" stall, then the chicken is prepared the Ipoh style, when means it is likely to be served with bean sprouts. Unlike in Ipoh, where the chicken is served with hor fun (flat rice pasta), in Penang, it is almost always served with rice. Also, unlike Malacca, there are no chicken rice stall in Penang that serve the rice in the form of rice balls.
