What Roobel doesn't like about Ricky's Chicken Rice:
The food is average. The clear soup which comes along the hainanese chicken rice is simple and tasty. But the best part is the two condiments (dips). The green dip is amazing in taste and the red dip has a mild mango taste. Don’t miss this. View all feedback. What Lianne Moore likes about Ricky's Chicken Rice:
Traveling from Melbourne, naturally we will pay a visit to the central market. Was delighted to actually found a food court with lots of choices and varieties there. On this occasion we had Hainanese Chicken Rice. We love it and honestly I miss it especially the silky smooth and succulent steam chicken and the spring onion and ginger dip. Yummm. Even my toddler love that dip. View all feedback.

I love the chicken and rice. Always consistently good and good value for money. Soup, rice and poached chicken in a soy sauce. Yum.

We ordered rice noodles from here which were 10/10! Service with a smile and prompt! Located in Adelaide central market. Reasonably priced.
