The well-known dish made famous to foreigners by the Chatterbox restaurant at the Mandarin Hotel in Orchard Road. Most versions originate from the Hainanese style of steamed chicken served with chicken stock flavoured rice. Today, most stalls offer a 'brown' or roasted chicken meat as well and this version is probably even more popular than the 'white' steamed version which is more difficult to keep as fresh. Some places offer a rarer soya-sauce steamed version that is not roasted.

Is this a trick question? That's like asking if there are Chinese in China. Hainanese chicken rice is the unofficial national dish of Singapore. It is sold everywhere, and the places I've had it were great. It's probably my favorite food, so I like to think I know a little bit about good and bad chicken rice, Singapore is a Mecca for chicken rice.

Hi, there is this very famous authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice stall at Purvis Street in Bugis area. The shop name is called "YI QUN" (2 chinese characters on the signboard). If you can't find your way to Purvis Street, just ask around the people and they'll guide you along. The place is an old shop, installed with air-cons and the decors & interiors are still the old-fashioned vintage furnitures. Because they reserved the old decors, I think It is really cool that you can hardly find shops like that. For your info, they also have steamboats and other ala-carte dishes on the menu. So if you're not eating the chicken rice, you can order for other food too. But their signature dish is still their very own, best & authentic Hainan chicken rice. You must also try that special-made grinded ginger-garlic-chilli sauce. This special chilli sauce is the authentic Hainan chilli sauce used when eating Hainan chicken rice.
2nd place for famous Hainan Chicken Rice is ChatterBox, located inside Mandarin Hotel at Orchard Rd. And the price is very much costly than Yi Qun and the taste is not as authentic as well, even though it tastes nice too.
