On Chicken Rice Balls - Food Fiesta 2004
It was Food Fiesta 2004 at Suntec City this weekend...
I was helping out my uncle at his booth, selling the Hainanese delicacy - Chicken Rice Balls.
What's that? Well, to put it briefly, this consists of chicken rice rolled up into a round shape, about the size of a tennis ball. According to my uncle, this helps to keep the fragrance of the chicken rice and prevents the smell of the chicken from dissipating.
The making of Chicken Rice Balls is a dying art in Singapore and of the many Hainanese hawkers who used to make Chicken Rice Balls years ago, my uncle's business is the only one left still standing.
Well, many people think selling Chicken Rice is good business in food-mad Singapore. True, it may be good and the fact that we hear TALES of hawkers who drive luxury cars, add to the allure of that business.
But they may not know of the back-breaking hard work and long hours put in by the hawkers and their assistants to give you that prefect mouth-watering and simply delicious plate of food, be it Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak, Roti Prata, Wan Ton Noodles or "Tzi Cha", etc. (For my foreign friends, these are some of the more famous local food in Singapore.)
Ok, to be fair, all people in the food industry deserve plaudits for their efforts. (This applies to chefs, cooks, the food manufacturers and many other people as well.)
As I am typing this, I am resting now at home from all the serving, carrying, packing and cashiering work at the food fair. Heavens! You should see the crowd and queues!
More on these tomorrow...
