There's a healthy food rivalry going on with Singapore and some of our neighbours, as our local fare is often wrongly accused of being subpar.

Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore is the best

That being said, international pop star Jackson Wang has made his stand very clear about one dish in particular: Hainanese chicken rice.

During his Dec. 23 "Magic Man World Tour" concert in Singapore, he shared:

"I tried Hainanese chicken rice...

Can I say one thing? I understand that you know, they have Hainanese chicken rice everywhere else in the world, but I just feel like the best shit [for] Hainanese chicken rice is in Singapore.

I had a great time. I understand that there's controversy about it but who gives a f***?

You know like, I love Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore."

Special affinity with Singapore

Towards the end of the concert, Wang showed off the Youth Olympics tattoo on his left arm.

You can't really see it in our photo:

But it's unmistakeable whenever he exposes his arms:

He represented Hong Kong in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, which was held in Singapore.
