I stumbled on a post for Hainanese chicken rice on one of the blogs I read regularly,  I wasn't familiar with the dish so I googled up and a found few sites and a wikipedia entry for it. It seemed like a simple dish to make. Most of the blog posts I read reflected a fondness for the dish. It is considered a signature dish of Singapore similar to how Adobo is considered a Philippine dish. Since most of the ingredients are available locally, I decided to give it a try. I googled up a few recipes and studied the process on how to cook it. I used the ingredients common to most of the versions I found.
