When it comes to a hearty platter of chicken rice, The Regent Chinese Cuisine is one of the first restaurants that comes to mind. Since opening in 2018, the establishment has gained recognition for its signature chicken rice made using premium ingredients flown in from Hong Kong. The secret to the sweetness and flavour of the chicken used is in the poultry's diet— the free range chicken is fed with only horse grass and corn, enhancing the aroma and tender texture of the meat.

Therefore, it is only fitting that The Regent Chinese Cuisine was chosen to serve chicken rice at In The Mood For Food. Its exclusive interpretation for the street food festival features a crunchy topping of crispy fish skin on the succulent chicken and fragrant rice. Fresh pickled vegetables prepared in-house finish the dish.

Meat is marinated and seasoned before being skewered and grilled over an open charcoal fire to make satay, a Malaysian street food staple. Traditionally served with a rich peanut sauce, the dish is often enjoyed with condiments such as ketupat (rice cakes), red onions and cucumber.

Instead of serving the meat on skewers, the team at Bijan Bar & Restaurant presents marinated chicken and beef patties in between fluffy, buttery brioche buns. Layered with crunchy cucumber slices and onions, the slider is slathered with house-made satay sauce and finished with a sprinkling of crushed peanuts.
