Whenever I go to Food Republic, Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice is where I usually head to. Yeah, I can be pretty predictable sometimes.

In my honest opinion, Sergeant might not have the best chicken rice … but, hey, what do you expect when it’s the Singaporean version?

But, what’s important is they have my chili and garlic and freshly ground ginger sauce dipping sauce; that does the job for me. They also provide local Thai sauce dipping, to cater to local Thai diners.

Ala carte costs 68 baht, and it comes with a bowl of chicken soup. The chicken rice set, with vege in oyster sauce, costs 95 baht. I normally just make do without the vege, as it is usually over-blanched.

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
