If you're a chicken rice purist, this will probably make you mad. If not, perhaps you'll be intrigued. There's a new restaurant in town, and it specialises in various versions of one of Singapore's national dishes: chicken rice. Located at The Centrepoint, Roost is a 60-seater casual diner that claims to use the world's first patented automated poultry cooking machine — the Singapore-made iKook — on every plate of chicken rice to ensure consistent quality.
And you'll be happy to hear that the eatery offers healthier versions of its poached and soya sauce chicken rice dishes ($8.90 each) — these smaller rice portions are apparently made with canola oil and pack less than 500 calories each.
