If you think chicken rice is too greasy, you haven't tried lean and flavourful chicken accompanied with rice concocted by the Chicken Rice Company.

Only Sakura chicken is used in their signature dishKnown for its succulent and flavourful meat with minimal fat, this special breed of chicken – originally from Japan – is bred in Malaysia using advanced Japanese farming methods. The Sakura chickens are reared in climate-controlled environments and feed on an all-natural mixture of ingredients: corn, soybean and Japanese lacto.

Better quality meat is produced as:
  • No growth hormones or antibiotics are used. The chickens are bred to a maximum weight of 1.8 kg to ensure the flesh remains supple.
  • Constant moisture with Japanese lacto is introduced into the air to ensure cool surroundings for the poultry and the temperature is kept constant. This ensures the chickens are raised in a stress-free environment.
  • The feed is similar in characteristics to natural bacteria and provides a better diet for the poultry.

The chicken is simply boiled in a vegetable stock and boned for easy consumption. The accompanying chilli sauce and tasty ginger sauce enhance the flavour of the chicken.

The Chicken Rice Company  is a new franchise chain of chicken rice outlets, two of  which - Newton Circus and Lau Pa Sat - opened in end-May 2008. The company also has a catering arm that organises chicken rice parties – a first in Singapore – and brings the authentic experience right to your doorstep.

Formed by the same owners behind the successful Friends restaurant chain, The Chicken Rice Company is a fully franchised operation that is expanding rapidly. The Master Franchisor and Director is Mr Thomas Chiam, who is an experienced restaurateur and caterer.

Firm rice complements the chicken

The stock derived from boiling the chicken is reduced to a concentrated liquid of intense flavour. It  is then used in cooking the rice, with no need to add chicken fats like in the traditional method. The cooked rice grains are firm to the bite and do not leave an oily residue in the mouth. This is because the Sakura is not as fatty as the regular chicken, and hence the stock produced is less oily.

The homemade sauces – chilli and ginger

Carefully concocted and subjected to stringent recipe tests, these two sauces are the perfect accompaniments to the chicken. The chilli sauce is a balanced blend of quality chilli padi from Vietnam, red chillies, and calamansi juice, while the spring onion-ginger sauce is an invigorating mix of spring onion, ginger, garlic and shallots. .

Apart from a takeaway delivery service, The Chicken Rice Company also operates a catering arm which can handle large scale orders - ideal for office lunches, boardroom meetings, celebrations and parties with a local flavour.
