Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice

I've been meaning to check out the much raved about tian tian hainanese chicken rice at maxwell market. and since our manicure session with cyndi is just around the area, we decided to proceed there. I remember i love the chicken rice from Dong Fong Fa Hainanese Chicken Rice (also located within Maxwell Market)... later when i heard raves about Tian Tian, i was under the impression its the same stall, only to realise its not. So i'm quite excited to find out which one i'd prefer.

Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice...



our orders....



they had this side dish called the cuttlefish with beansprout....



its only $3 for a relatively big plate. This dish is nice! The cuttlefish's texture is good and goes well with the beansprouts. The beansprouts were slightly crunchy and the sauce was probably the chicken rice sauce. Yummy!

and a close up of the rice....



i wasnt exactly impressed by the rice. Although i gotta admit the last time i had rice from Dong Fong Fa was quite a long while ago, i'm still under the impression that Dong Fong Fa's rice is much more fragrant. Of coz, this is just my personal opinon.

the chicken...



a closer up view...



i personally find the chicken pretty on par for Dong Fong Fa and Tian Tian. Both were really tender and smooth. Yummmy yummy.
