Ipoh Bean Sprouts & Chicken Rice

With the freshest and crunchiest bean sprouts that are not found in other parts of Malaysia, Ipoh is famous for its super delicious Hainanese chicken rice with bean sprouts. The chicken is rubbed with salt, stuffed with ingredients such as ginger and scallion, then boiled until it is perfectly succulent, when still very slightly undercooked. Paired with the aromatic rice, tangy chili sauce, and bean sprouts in superior sauce, every spoonful of all of it is simply awesome. Also not to be missed is the hor fun soup.
