Best chicken rice.

Amazing, fast. Delicious.

?????? This place has the Best Chicken Laksa I've had in Singapore. ?????? I will soon move overseas, and so I will be missing the comfort of the frequent meals I've been indulging here. Fragrance Garden Chicken Rice is, in my opinion, one of those special places that simply prepares the food well in every detail. The laksa is my favorite. It comes in a big bowl of warming savory coconut broth that complements the silky noodles. I recommend you add a dollop of their rich red sambal(?) paste, which adds that spicy heat and sweet subtle flavors. I always make a special order of the chicken laksa with chopped steamed chicken drumstick + roast chicken drumstick + vegetable greens + chicken innards. It is large enough for 2 people, but I find it easy to eat it all. Both roasted and steamed chicken are cooked tender, plump with flavor. The taste, texture, and doneness are exactly right throughout, from skin to meat to even the savory gristle around the joints (which I gnaw down to the bone). The chicken innards are tasty as well. The liver is always cooked to just that paté-smooth doneness. The gizzards' chew and the hearts' tenderness are also spot on. I do enjoy them swimming in laksa broth, but the plate of innards with a dash of each of red, yellow, brown sauces is a treat on its own. Fragrance Garden Chicken Rice separates itself from the common chicken stall in doing each part of the meal consistently right. The rice, the fried chicken with sweet lemon sauce, the broth, are all very good. This has been one of my favorite Singapore hawker stalls. I highly recommend the chicken laksa!

juicy chicken rice

Most of the stores at Lau Pa Sat changed after covid. I tried this store given it is top rated on Google Map. It didn't disappoint. The rice is fragrant, the chicken tender, and the portion very decent compared to other stores. Would come back again.
