The dish of chicken rice, is really just that - chicken that’s cooked in a certain way, served with rice that’s often cooked in chicken broth and some light seasoning, paired together, and served with both a sauce and soup on the side. It’s not typically an overly flavorful dish, but it’s one of the ultimate comfort food combinations.
In this video I met up with Daniel who is a Singaporean who loves chicken rice. We started off at Yuhua Village Market & Food Centre to go to a place called Hup Hong to specifically eat their version of roasted chicken rice. The roasted chicken, I’m not sure if it was deep fried? was sliced up on top of a plate of rice and served with a red chili garlic sauce. Overall, it was quite a tasty plate, the chicken was smooth but not mushy, and it was salted perfectly. I also liked the sauce at Hup Hong, which was heavy on the chilies and garlic, with a faint taste of ginger, and nicely salted.
After Hup Hong we took a drive across Singapore to a legendary boiled chicken rice restaurant, and a place that serves an original pretty old fashioned Hainanese boiled chicken style. The restaurant itself was pretty cool, very authentic and looked like it had remained pretty much the same since it was open the last 60 years. We had a plate of boiled chicken and each had our own bowl of rice. What I really liked about Yet Con was that the chicken really tasted like chicken, it was a natural tasting boiled chicken with a very firm texture. I also enjoyed how they had two different sauces, one just pureed ginger, and the other a chili vinegar sauce.
I thought the roasted chicken was really going to win for me, but after testing both, I was pretty pleased and impressed how good the boiled chicken also was. Overall, I think I’d prefer roasted chicken on a whole, as I’m not a big fan of boiled chicken skin. But that being said, I highly enjoyed the Yet Con atmosphere and shop. Both were good. Which version of Singapore chicken rice would you prefer? Roasted or boiled?

You are so polite even when your not into the food. Unless mark is eating at a 90* angle you know he's not into it. Also the fact he loved that ginger so much tells me that chicken needed reviving. Love your videos mark!
My personal rule of thumb: when eating at a fancy or famous chicken rice place, go for the boiled chicken. When eating at an ordinary one, go for the roast. The quality of roast chicken doesn't vary a lot between different outlets, but good boiled chicken and ordinary boiled chicken are worlds apart in terms of flavour, aroma and texture.
I agree with you, I'm also not a big fan of chicken skin when it's boiled but fried or roasted is absolutely delicious. They sell a similar chicken in Colombia but you always get salted boiled potatoes and our famous arepa as side dishes.
+Sweet y Salado That sounds delicious, would love to try the Colombian version.
I lived in SINGAPORE 1972, 73 And couple of months in 1974 and few months of 75 , My Second Son Boring there in the Catholic Hospital . Your tours bring so many good Memories there . Thank You .! Yes The Both chicken , it’s my most Favorites to 😍💕
Im hungry every time i see one of mark's videos
Dear Mark and Yin. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. I love the positivity that comes across, and I thank you both for all your efforts. We lost our son, Jordan, aged 20, five years ago from suicide, and your videos really help me remain positive. It's difficult, but people travelling and expericing wonderful food is incredibly healing. Thank you so, so much. Errol.
Errol, so many years after your son Jordan taking his own life, I hope that you have achieved some way of dealing after such a tragic loss. No matter how long ago. Power to you, and LOTS of continuing healing energy.
It's amazing how something so simple like that can be so good!! Awesome video once again, thank you Mark and Ying and Daniel and his father for sharing this delicious looking dish!!
+Trevor Jones Thank you Trevor!
Mark, awesome of you & Ying to include your peers, fans, etc. You are my favorite Vlogger/Blogger. I'm not sure what to call it. Just for being in my life, on nights I can't sleep. God bless you'll & Happy New Year from Texaa
People think I'm crazy when I try to explain chicken rice and how good simple food is when cooked by experts . I too load up on the sauces . Wonderful videos .
Whenever I watch your videos I'm like man, it seem like I'm also eating. Great videos mark, you always make me hungry! Lol. Keep it up!!! Hoping for more videos to come!!!
Roasted is the way to go, great video Mark, as always.

Hi Mark and Ying!
The ultimate Singapore dish.
Chicken Rice Roasted vs. Boiled how can you not love these dishes. I love both styles.Mark keep it up!
+joschi jogi Thanks Joschi!
Mark, both dishes look so great for being simple dishes. Thank you for sharing!!
+N YC (Nkaujhmoob81) Thanks for watching!
Here's a challenge to all Chicken Rice lovers - try one where the chef expertly de-bone the chicken parts before chopping it into bite sizes. Its not commonly done nowadays either due to time constraints or simply lack of skill, but chicken thigh bones are notoriously brittle and tend to shatter causing little shards of bone in the meat. The de-boned version, in my humble opinion is an experience in itself.
so uncle, recommend one place where one may try such an expertly deboned chicken leh. mai gong lampa song
Block 153, Serangoon North Ave 1 Coffee Shop (looks old but the chicken and rice is good)
A great surprise waking up. You made my morning mark.
+Hatas Engineer Thanks Hatas

Oh man, that video got my salivary glands fired up. Looks like Daniel steered you right.

1:50 Take a bite of the soup
Dk Jairenz Mark is correct, because he is using spoon. He will sip if he used bottle, straw and cup
this taught me pain
Mark! Excellent video. Many thanks to your friend Daniel for guidance. Singapore Chicken Rice is a favorite of mine that I often prepare at home. I always worry that your wife Ying doesn't get to eat. LOL. Blessings ChefMike
+chef mike Thanks Mike!
I had finals for the past weeks so I couldn't not watch your videos. Finally I'm doneee, now time for food vlogs!! Btw, I know this is off topic but I'll be in Thailand this June, just want to ask you which location should I stay for easy to get around Bangkok, is it Khaosan, or Silom or the China town? That's all of my knowledge of searching hotels last week lol, I'd really appreciate if you can recommend me which location/hotel/hostel I should stay in Bangkok. I've never been to Thailand before, but after watching your videos for the past 2 years, you are my inspiration to come to Thailand :D. Thank you for all of you and Ying's hard work!
7:39 that's one of the best looking piece of chicken i have ever seen in my life!.
You must of not seen alot of chicken then
Plummet thanks buddy
Yeah that place is so good. I lived just upstairs and behind that restaurant for 2 years
I always enjoy seeing you with locals :)
+MsLemons12 Thank you!
Its roast chicken rice for me, only because one time I ordered broiled and the chicken was uncooked from the inside and still has blood at the bone part. In general chicken rice is still a delicious dish, awesome video Mark!
+Red Hood Thanks!
Daniel you are the tru gem to the world of Chicken rice. I just love chicken rice. But Daniel we must not forget the best Chicken Rice comes from Ipoh with the Towgay. I have to make a detour to Ipoh just to have my fix of Cowan Street Chicken Rice. Now the owner tells me he closes from Monday to Wednesday
kayata! lamia ani na manok ui .. humok kaayo tan awon ..samot kalami pajud kay ang nawong ni mark kung mokaon kay murag na gawasan sa kalami sa pag kaon :)
Had chicken rice at this stall once after you guys recommended it. It is so far one of the best chicken rice I agreed.
Mark eats the way I would . Plenty of sauce and garnish . Great videos thanks .
Singapore food ride very nice👍💯💖😍😋
All that condiment in one piece 👀 mark must be the one to consume all the condiments in a restaurant in one meal 😂
Oh yes! I need to go. Back to Singapore! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
love your videos! keep up the good work mark!
+kc3la Thank you!
Yeah! Chicken Rice is a national treasure; an icon! I am flying home today just for the weekend to eat! Then later this month permanently back for good. Thanks Mark.
+Veloster 1337 Have a great weekend!
Great Video.....Thank you for posting...
Looved this video as Always great job
+rose petal Thank you!
mouth watering !! thank you mark
Mark I watched a lot of your vídeos, I Love. Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Awesome video mark. I love the chicken rice in Singapore. No words for that chilli sauce 😍😍...I really enjoyed the background music at the end of the video . Who's the artist? Any one please reply
i live near the Hup Hong Chicken Rice stall and i have never even been there before in my life! I'm so gonna try it!
There wasn't enough chilli with the dish for you, Mark! I knew it as soon as I saw the first bite.
+erica mary Hi Erica, could always do with more chili!
Good videos greetings from Suriname
Roasted and Hainanese Chicken are different but both equally delicious. The chicken meat doesn't even need any chili or dip at all. Just pair with a bowl of steaming white rice and that's already a winner.
Damn Daniel!
Back at it again with the chicken!
i tasted this one month ago...i was like hmmm this is just a plain boiled chicken....after eating it, wew its so good...!!! they must have a special method to boil chicken delicious...
WOW!! I love the Sing. chicken rice. But did not know they made a roasted chicken rice.
Mark loves his chilli sauce. damn
Ps: Make a blooper series for every country you travel!
I swear he would eat rice with only chili if that's his only choice. X D
+joyjoyoo wouldnt be hard to believe that!
Insanely good food from SG.
When I came back from Pulua Ubin, I had a chicken rice at a bus terminal hawker center at Pasir Ris....it was soooooo nice.
Damn Daniel, back at it again with the cameo in Mark Wiens video.
+cynthia damn i see i was too late for this comment lmao
Dang it. You said it first
+cynthia lmaoo I was about to say this.

Ooo yummy hope Mark will come back to Singapore soon! Personally tried the chicken rice, the cabbage soup is superb! Mmm mmm I also love to go around trying food! Good job Mark!

Awesome chicken rice dish !!!!!
Looks good. I will try the boiled version next time when I get back to SG.
Well done Mark and Daniel!
+Montreal288 Thanks!
Come to Singapore ,come to YuHua!!
Probably the Best but Most UnderRated here.

+Tracy Ryan Thanks Tracy!
Great video as always guys! I can't wait to get a kidney transplant so I can make my way to Singapore and have me some of that chicken rice.
Oh man, I used to live right above Yet Con on Purvis St. Ate there once a week for 2 years, 2009-11
how you stay slim is beyond me! loving your videos.
You need to bring along your another friend, the one in the Bun Kebab video. He eats everything and love everything he eats. Haha
Food looks so good
Way back 1995 I was in malaysia I've love to eat always chicken rice and yummylicious sambal ikan
I was there a couple of months ago and had their boiled chicken. Delicious - confirmed!
This might sound ridiculous but seriously how do you stay so fit Mark and Jing!? I know you walk a lit...but dang!:) I love your videos Mark and Ying. :)
The roasted looked really good, had a similar dish recently, very tasty. My family often makes the boiled chicken with ginger sauce =)
How to make the ginger purée sauce
Mark does what I would do . Load up on flavours . No messing .
Don't worry about some people's nasty comments mark, they just jealous they can't get to eat all the yummy foods u get to enjoy. Just keep ur awesome mouth watering video's coming 👍👍
Oh i love that chicken rice, missed eating that
They both look delish! I'd think I would have a hard time choosing which was best. The roast chicken looked perfect. Thanks for the review! Can't wait for the next one!
+bellaxfatal Thanks, it is a tough choice!
Oh, Mark... That looks sooo delicious!!! Thanks again, mate!!! =D
+Glauco Fernando Thanks Glauco
Mark is super food lover
