"Chicken rice, a deceptively simple pairing of delicately poached chicken and aromatic oily rice that’s flavourful enough to be eaten on its own, is perhaps Singapore’s most iconic dish, and there’s no better place to get it than at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice in Maxwell Food Centre. Don’t come too hungry though, as it often boasts a queue stretching all the way out of the hawker centre along a covered walkway. But exercise some patience, and you’ll be duly rewarded with tender chicken draped in velvety, plump skin." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The house dish features poached chicken with rice cooked in chicken stock and served with a thick soya sauce, making it a signature, must-try example of Hainanese chicken rice at a busy hawker stall." - Dan Q. Dao
"No visit to Singapore is complete without a plate of chicken rice, and Tian Tian arguably serves the best version. Its flavorful poached chicken is drizzled with house-made soya sauce–based dressing and served with a mound of chicken stock-–nfused rice." - Charlene Fang
