It truly took me a few years of coaxing.. However I lastly made my technique to strive the well-known Inexperienced Chilli Hen Rice. This was all the way in which again in 2021!
I keep in mind I used to be reluctant to go to due to the brief working hours and infamously tremendous lengthy queues at their one and solely stall positioned in Sims Vista. However after making an attempt for the primary time, I understood that the hype was not simply empty hype and why folks had been prepared to queue for this delicacy!
SPOILER ALERT: It’s lots simpler to get pleasure from this dish now as a result of after a failed try and open a 2nd outlet, they lastly managed to get it finished! They now have a 2nd outlet that opens within the evenings!
To start with, let me level out – this stall sells solely ONE dish and that dish is Inexperienced Chilli Hen Rice. I’ve all the time had the notion that if a stall sells just one dish, that most likely implies that they’ve mastered that one single dish to the purpose that they don’t must promote the rest in any respect. Inexperienced Chilli Hen Rice is the right instance of this. They open brief hours day by day – from round 10am til 2pm – they usually usually are bought out earlier than regular closing time.
On the menu, you will note solely the Inexperienced Chilli Hen Rice listed as a dish. Every thing else on the menu is an add-on. You possibly can add-on Inexperienced Chili, Pink Chili, Rice and you may even purchase solely Rice or solely Hen. However the Hen solely additionally prices $5 so that you would possibly as properly get the principle dish on the identical worth. Until you’re on a no-carb weight-reduction plan or one thing 😛
Oh! Curiously sufficient, you don’t get any keropok (crackers) in the event you bungkus and you may’t purchase keropok on the facet. They apparently get the keropok from a selected provider so you may have some crunch along with your Inexperienced Chill Hen Rice.
The dish itself appears easy however is SO GOOD I’ve actually gotta say!
The hen will get a fast double fry (I imagine they serve solely the thigh half) and the flavours are incredible. Whereas the hen will not be juicy, the meat is certainly tender. You may get the flavour of the spices that marinate the hen – flavourful even with out the Inexperienced Chili!
The star of the dish is clearly the Inexperienced Chilli. I had initially thought it was a model of Cabe Ijo however was pleasantly stunned that it’s truly fairly totally different in lots of respects. Firstly, it’s not spicy (sorry to all you Hantu Chili!) and it’s not oily. The one seen elements are inexperienced chili and onions which result’s a very distinctive and scrumptious flavour. It’s REALLY SEDAP GILER I’m not kidding. There may be additionally some sambal on the facet however I reckon the Inexperienced Chilli trumps all 😀
In any case, it’s all served with lightly-flavoured hen rice which makes use of Basmati Rice (a pleasant contact in my books). The photographs you see have additional rice added. I feel subsequent time I’ll add additional hen and Inexperienced Chilli as an alternative as a result of it’s simply superior 🔥
I can see why there’s a queue on the stall (typically even earlier than they open their shutters) and it typically strikes fairly quick. They do put a restrict on the variety of packets you’ll be able to order (I imagine to make sure the road doesn’t get held up for too lengthy). Total, I’d say it’s definitely worth the queue for positive. Be sure you order extra to make it value it since you’re gonna crave for it in the event you don’t get your fill 😛
They began in 1999 and apparently moved to Sims Vista in 2014. They did attempt to run a 2nd outlet at Geylang Serai for under takeaways in 2023 however that was fairly short-lived. The excellent news is that they now have a 2nd outlet positioned at Chomp Chomp Meals Centre! Even higher information is that it opens from 5pm til 9pm (or bought out) so in the event you can’t make it to Sims Vista for lunch, you’ll be able to head to Serangoon Gardens for dinner!
I hope they proceed promoting for a very long time as a result of thus far that is one in all a form. Extremely really useful so that you can strive! (And in addition extremely really useful to purchase additional and ship to us LOL)
