Green Chilli Chicken Rice has operated since 2014 under founder Mr Mustajab Ibrahim, known as Uncle Jab, who developed the concept in 1999. The stall at Sims Vista Market & Food Centre sells exclusively one dish, focusing all effort on perfecting their signature preparation rather than diluting quality across multiple offerings.
The namesake green chilli sauce distinguishes this chicken rice from countless competitors, featuring a non-spicy blend of green chilli and onions that creates unique flavour profiles without the heat typical of chilli-based condiments. The chicken undergoes two-stage cooking, first simmered in special gravy before deep-frying, resulting in crispy skin over fall-off-the-bone tender meat. Fragrant basmati rice, perfumed with pandan, garlic, lemongrass and shallots, accompanies the chicken alongside keropok crackers and sambal.
Priced at under five dollars, the plate includes a palm-sized chicken leg dressed in both green chilli and sweet sauce. Operating daily from late morning to early afternoon, with a second evening outlet addressing different timing needs, the stall regularly draws queues requiring early arrival. The single-dish focus, affordable pricing and Uncle Jab's decades of recipe refinement have built devoted following. For adventurous eaters seeking chicken rice variations beyond standard preparations, Green Chilli delivers distinctly different flavours through their carefully crafted sauce.
