Chicken Rice Ball at Malacca Malaysia

There are the authentic Nyonya food restaurants in the city, spicy Portuguese food at Portuguese settlements and grilled seafood at Umbai, but perhaps no dish is better known in Malacca than chicken rice balls
The people in Malacca have an interesting way of serving simple Hainanese chicken rice. Instead of serving the rice in a bowl, the chicken rice is shaped into ping pong sized balls and served with chicken and the usual condiments. The rice is usually made stickier so that it can hold its shape. Everything is eaten exactly the same way, with a piece of the chicken, the chilli sauce and cucumber placed on a ball of rice. This way, one can enjoy one harmonious burst of flavour, with the chicken, rice and chilli sauce all blending togethe
