I wonder how many types of chicken rice exist in Singapore. Steamed and roasted are very common but here I have listed some other unique types.
Chicken Rice Ball: I've learnt that chicken rice ball came before chicken rice. This classic style was sold long time ago in the early 20's by a guy named Wang, wrapped in banana leaf near Hylam Street. Strangely enough, this rice ball is somehow a regional cuisine in Malacca.
Soy Sauce Chicken: I have tasted this at Lee Fun Nam Kee. The gooey gravy is flavorful and very tasty. Personally speaking, I think the strong flavor destroys the delicate aroma of perfumed chicken rice's rice.

Kampung Chicken: Some vendors of chicken rice market themselves using kampung chicken or free range chicken; now is it really free range? If it were true free range chicken, the meat should be tough but flavorful. And because of this particular breed (or it could be because of the feed), the skin has a darker yellow hue. I have yet to try a particular breed known as "sakura" chicken. What's the hype all about?

Hainanese Style: This is a classic chicken rice from Yet Con at Purvis Street. Foodies refer this as "old school." The Hainanese one uses older chicken and there's no gravy.
Cantonese Style: The cut is beautifully presented and it comes with gravy and garnish unlike the Hainanese style. The chicken is also cooled in a waterbath for better texture.
