Uncle Ray’s Chicken Rice
Brook no pretenders. Chicken rice is a serious business in East and Southeast Asia, and the recipe at this prosaic storefront has a lineage that goes back to the celebrated version introduced in the 1970s at Chatterbox in Singapore. The meat yields, and there’s proper jelly under the skin. But the real luxury here is the rice, swollen with chicken broth, haunted by ginger and good enough to eat on its own.
