The Original Chicken Rice: Affordable Singaporean Fast Food in Cubao

The Original Chicken Rice has received a lot of good reviews and publicity so I've been wanting to try it out for myself.  Besides, their pricing is so cheap that it felt as if I had nothing to lose.  When we watched a concert at Araneta Coliseum, we took the chance to try it out and swept by Shopwise Arcade. (Pardon my phone photos since we didn't bring our DSLR)

The Original Chicken Rice had the typical fast food set up where you pay as you order at the counter.  All the menu selections are displayed in front of you as well.

The Original Chicken Rice adopts a red and white theme.  The walls are filled with enticing photos of their products.  

Food
The name "The Original Chicken Rice" gave as an obvious hint on what to order.  Of course, its their chicken rice.  

White Hainanese Chicken Rice Meal (98 php)

The White Hainanese Chicken Rice Meal is served with a great proportion of tender, succulent and lean hainanese chicken.  It comes with pickled vegetables too.  In terms of texture, I'd say it was pretty good.  However, it relied on the sauces for flavor.   I could sense the chicken stock taste in the cup of  chicken rice which enhanced the meal experience.  The meal comes with a bowl of soup, chili sauce and ginger sauce.

Hainanese Roast Chicken Meal (98 php)

The Hainanese Roast Chicken Meal was cooked just right with roasted moist dripping from it.  In terms of taste, I'd refer this over the White Hainanese Chicken. 


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
The Original Chicken Rice is a great option when craving for Singaporean dishes while on a budget.  Its pricing is its competitive edge.  If in the area, it is a practical place to visit.  But if you are looking for a better food quality, there are other Singaporean restaurants you can check out.
