No other dish is quintessentially Singaporean than Hainanese Chicken Rice, except perhaps for Chili Crab. But for those of us who are a tad allergic to seafood, this dish exemplifies the best in Singaporean cuisine. It’s served everywhere, in hawker centers, fast-food courts in malls, swanky hotels and humble homes all over the city-state, much like the ubiquitous adobo in the Philippines.
In a recent trip to Singapore, my sister brought us to a small, unassuming restaurant along Thomson Road in the Novena Ville area, right across the Novena church, where Catholic Pinoys congregate every Sunday. The Wee Nam Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice & Restaurant has a reputation which belies its humble façade.
