Singaporeans love our chicken rice. It’s a representative of our food culture to the entire world.

So when we saw that Buzzfeed’s Tasty actually featured Hainanese Chicken Rice?
We almost cried.
And to top it off, this isn’t an adapted recipe made by some ang moh.
It’s actually a grandmother’s recipe for making chicken rice and was taught by someone who grew up on the streets of Singapore.

Let’s just say that it didn’t really end well for them.
The company was forced to delete the pictures after social media started throwing shade at the company.
It didn’t help that PappaRich originated from Malaysia as well.

Yup, Buzzfeed labelled this as one of the weirdest sandwiches (you kidding me?!) to eat on earth.

And a shitstorm happened.
But this guy said it best.
Conclusion? You can mess with our transport system, our fast-paced culture and expensive cars, but never mess with our food.
