Dumpling "Chicken Rice"
Trying out the "Chef's Tasting Menu" for dinner @ "Labyrinth", a Michelin 1-Star restaurant, offering a modern take on Singaporean cuisines.
"Braised chicken, Homemade rice flour, Ginger & chilli"
I know the chef is a fellow Hainanese and so, no big surprise he would go after the jewel of Hainanese cuisine in Singapore - the Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Rice flour skin prepared with chicken stock, rolled and served ala Chinese dumpling-style with a chicken meat filling (most likely using chicken breast meat), floating atop a small sea of gingery chicken rice chilli sauce.
The skin was so fragrant with both chicken oil and sesame oil aroma - closing my eyes, I could really envision a real Hainanese poached chicken. The chicken filling was so moist and bursting with juices, and needless to say, the gingery chilli sauce did its magic to translate the beautiful bluffing to a satisfactory ending.
I was kinda wistfully wishing for a second dumpling.....
