I caught his episode on Singaporean food. And I am TOTALLY going to watch Bella Martha when I get back stateside. WC - great advice. I've seen some Viet/Hainese places and will try them in the near future. And you're ABSOLUTELY right about nuoc mam gung - I was eating the ginger sauce and thinking that it needed a healthy splash of nuoc mam. Grandma makes a great nuoc mam gung to go with her chao vit. Su Lin - I will definitely look out for these recommendations the next time I dine at a Singaporean restaurant. Thanks. James - once I head back stateside, I'll get my hands on grandma's nuoc mam gung recipe. David - word. Although I'm hopeful, I'm afraid Vietnam's rapid development will lead to poorer quality meats :-( I guess that means I should eat the good ones before the fun ends! Neneh - You are a lucky one! I think I was raised on Zacky Farms chickens, which may explain why I am not fond of this type of meat.

The rice is just SO flavourful, cooked in the chicken broth. When my parents left Vietnam on their rickety boat, they landed in Hainam for a few months when their boat broke down. My mom says their chickens are like no others. When I was young, we used to go to the native reserves to buy their free range chicken, so it would be more authentic to this dish.

Village chicken wins hands down over over-processed caged birds for taste anytime. The chicken in Hanoi was a zillion times better than what I’ve eaten in Singapore.

Other Singaporean dishes to look out for are chai tow kueh (fried radish cake), chili crab, and fried Hokkien noodles (the Singaporean kind is totally different from the Malaysian kind).
