I visited the restaurant after 9:00 PM, and even though it was located in a residential area, the front of the shop was well lit, making it easy to find. Inside, the compact layout featured tables for 2 and 4 people, with additional seating on the second floor. I decided to try the "Hainanese Chicken Rice" (950 yen) for the first time, choosing the 200g portion. The dish arrived on a wooden tray, with the chicken rice topped with chicken, a salad on a plate, soup, and three sauces on the side. The chicken rice, cooked with Indica rice, chicken broth, ginger, and chicken oil, was flavorful and fluffy. The boiled chicken had tender meat and crispy skin, and tasted delicious on its own, but even better when paired with the ginger, chili, and soy sauces provided. The ginger sauce had a refreshing kick, the chili sauce added a spicy depth, and the soy sauce had a rich umami flavor. The chicken broth was light yet flavorful, showcasing the essence of the chicken. The homemade sauces demonstrated the chef's culinary skills. Although I don't usually visit the same restaurant frequently, the delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice has made me curious to try other items on the menu, and I look forward to visiting again soon.

After finishing class, it's time for the usual lunch. This time, on the way back from Kinkaku-ji, in the rapidly growing gourmet city area of Enmachi, we decided to try a new restaurant. We went to "Babylsa," a Singaporean and South Indian cuisine restaurant that recently opened on the Odoi Embankment. We had the Hainanese Chicken Rice, which is rice cooked in chicken broth. The long-grain rice had a refreshing taste, and the tender chicken matched perfectly with the hot and humid weather today. Everything was delicious and the rice just kept disappearing. I'm looking forward to trying out the other dishes on the menu. I definitely want to try everything on the menu.

This is a shop located north of Enmachi Station. It is nestled between narrow old houses. The interior is filled with an ethnic aroma. I ordered the Hainan chicken rice for 950 yen and a beer for 700 yen. The chicken was tender and the rice had a ginger flavor. It seemed to have the taste of a food stall, lacking in luxury. Japanese people might prefer the taste of Amami chicken rice. Ethnic cuisine focuses on aromatic flavors, while Japanese cuisine focuses on broth. I realized this during this visit.

Last night, I participated in the Enmachi Curry Festival after a long time. This time, I went to "Babilsa" and ordered half of the Chicken Biryani. It was a curry that was not too spicy and easy to eat, but it was super delicious. The Enmachi Curry Festival is until the 20th, so I will try to go as much as possible. #Curry #CurryRice #Biryani #ChickenBiryani #Chicken #Enmachi #EnmachiCurryFestival2023 #EnmachiCurry #EnmachiCurryFest #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoCurry #Babilsa #Can't become a Curry Prince #I still love cilantro #I'm struggling to think of something interesting w

I came to Marucho to try some rare Singaporean cuisine. While Thai food is quite popular, I had never heard of Singaporean food before. I love Thai dish called Khao Man Gai, and when I saw a similar dish on the menu, I decided to try it. It came with three different sauces, and each one was delicious. I particularly liked the ginger sauce. There was also a sauce that tasted like a spicy dressing, which was also good.

Actually, I am currently researching about "Bak Kut Teh". As soon as we arrived in Kyoto, we headed to this restaurant. The menu offered Hainanese Chicken Rice and Bak Kut Teh set. I heard that you could add a "Mini Bak Kut Teh" as an option, so without hesitation, I ordered 【Hainanese Chicken Rice + Mini Bak Kut Teh】. You can choose the amount of rice, ranging from 150-300g, and for some reason, I nervously blurted out "180" which was not a round number, sorry about that. The Hainanese Chicken Rice here had a very gentle and meticulous flavor. Even though I'm not a big fan of chicken thighs, I was surprised by how easily I could eat it, with no unpleasant smell and a soft taste. The rice texture was also to my liking. The best part about Hainanese Chicken Rice is that you can customize the taste with 3 sauces (Black Soy, Chili, Ginger). The Black Soy sauce here was so good that I used up all of it! And finally, the much-anticipated "Bak Kut Teh" - a Chinese herbal soup with spare ribs. It had a noticeable spice flavor but overall was mellow. The taste was so well-crafted! It was delicious! I had imagined a peppery and oily taste, but the Bak Kut Teh here was incredibly flavorful and I'm hooked. I always hope that Bak Kut Teh will become more popular like Ginseng Chicken Soup. Without much local knowledge around here, when going from Enmachi Station, you might feel a bit nervous thinking "Is there really a restaurant in this residential area?" but don't hesitate and go to this restaurant! There are 2 table seats on the 1st floor, and more seats on the 2nd floor. The ambiance on the 2nd floor is welcoming, making it easy for even a solo female diner to enter. Thank you for the meal.

In the city of Kyoto, known as a representative tourist city in Japan, there is a neighborhood near JR Enmachi Station that promotes regional revitalization by branding itself as the "Curry Rice Town". Recently, a Singaporean restaurant called "Babilsa" opened near Enmachi Station. The specialty of Babilsa is the Hainan Chicken Rice. You can choose between 150g to 300g of chicken rice. The image this time shows a 300g portion, which is quite substantial. It comes with fresh lettuce, cucumber, tomato, a flavorful soup, and three sauces (Black Soy, Chili, Ginger). Moreover, you can have unlimited refills of the soup and sauces! I found myself asking for more soup after finishing the meal. After trying it, I can say that the chicken is tender and well-seasoned, the chicken rice has a nice umami flavor and a fluffy texture, the soup is warm and flavorful, and the three sauces and fresh vegetables provide a wonderful accent. The area around Nishinokyo Enmachi to Kitano Hakubaicho in Kyoto has been somewhat slow in terms of redevelopment. Therefore, it's exciting to see a unique Singaporean restaurant open in Enmachi, and the food is truly delicious. I highly recommend everyone to visit and try it out.

I thought it was a cute little shop at first glance, but then I realized there was a second floor too. It had been a while since I had Singaporean cuisine. I ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice, a Singaporean Chicken Rice. The soup was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was fluffy.

It's a cute and impactful shop with a bright yellow awning. I've been to several Singaporean restaurants in Osaka, but this is my first time in Kyoto. I decided to go with the Bak Kut Teh, and it was delicious! The meat was so tender. My friend had the Chicken Rice, which also looked very tasty.

I got takeout for lunch on a regular day. I placed a phone order just before and picked it up in 10 minutes. The Singapore chicken rice comes with three sauces - black soy, chili, and ginger, along with soup! The tender chicken with fluffy Thai rice is delicious! Each sauce has a distinct flavor, making the chicken rice even more enjoyable. The Seafood Biryani with red snapper broth comes with coconut chicken salna and a yogurt-style salad called raita! The spiced basmati rice with the flavor of red snapper broth is delicious! The coconut-infused chicken curry is also spicy and tasty. The aroma is quite ethnic, and the spices linger even after eating. It's great that you can easily get authentic Singapore chicken rice and spiced biryani to go. I would love to go back again. Thank you for the meal.

I used takeout. I got the Mutton Biryani with spiced rice for ¥1200 to go. The restaurant is small, but it seems like there is a second floor. It only took about 5-10 minutes to pick up my order. The food was very authentic and delicious! The rice, maybe it's called Jasmine rice? It was flavored Jasmine rice topped with mutton and various spices, served with a side of soup. I want to visit again and try everything on the menu. Thank you for the meal.
