Every afternoon, without fail, there will be a snaking queue for Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice at its main branch, Maxwell Food Centre. We know what the reason is for that long wait and also the immense love Singaporeans have for them: the white chicken (the only type of meat served here) is tender, juicy, smooth and flavourful, accompanied with chilli and dark soy sauce; the rice fluffy and fragrant, and the chilli fresh with a hint of lime and sugar. Though the prices have risen over the years, it's still a very affordable plate at $3 to $3.50 each. Read more about Tian Tian Hainanese and its history here.
