STOP!
Melaka Chicken Rice Ball Is Rolling in…
A must try local cuisine in Melaka!
Chicken rice ball is a delicacy unique in Melaka. It is a must try delicacy for tourists who visit the Historical Melaka City.
This is how the Chicken Rice Ball Looked like
As a Melakan, I didn’t expect that the delicacy name itself will actually give a different perception to foreigners. (That was what happened to my boss!)
My boss, a British; has not heard or seen this famous delicacy and expects that there is chicken meat stuffed inside the rice ball! Wow, what an imagination!
Therefore, I think it’s best for me to describe this in detail. Actually, the chicken rice comes in the shape of I would say a small golf ball. Now comes the jackpot question, where is the chicken meat?
The Juicy Steam Chicken Meat
The steamed chicken meat will be served in another plate. Normally, the tender and soft chicken meat is dipped in sesame sauce. There are two main criteria in judging the quality of this local delicacy.
First will be the softness, tenderness and juiciness of the steamed chicken meat.
Second criteria will be for the taste and the texture of the "golf Ball" itself. Opps! the rice ball....
For your information, this dish was derived from the Hainanese chicken rice. Therefore, there is no doubt that this famous delicacy has the same quality as the well-known Hainanese Chicken Rice!
