Part of Starbucks' National Day menu, this cost an eye-watering $9.90 (ironically you could buy 2 chicken rice packets at that price point). Cauliflower rice and quinoa forms the base of this bowl, with shreds of garlic-flavored chicken, tomato, corn and achar. There are seperate toppings of creamy ginger chilli dressing and fried chicken skin.

I didn't really know what to expect but was disappointed anyway. If you were to remove the label and ask me to guess what this was inspired by I'd be guessing for hours. The quinoa and cauliflower base is the best part of the dish but tastes nothing like chicken rice. The chicken had gelatinous bits stuck to it that didnt quite belong and was a miserably small portion. Also it was suspiciously discolored. The sauce was so spicy, it overwhelmed all the other relatively blander elements of the bowl rather than blending them together.

Its just not worth the price tag. I appreciate the attempt though.
