Hikayat Ayam Zamrud: A Culinary Celebration of Ramadan & Aidilfitri with The Chicken Rice Shop

March 29, 2025 by StrawberrY Gal

As the holy months of Ramadan and Aidilfitri approach, families across Malaysia prepare to embrace the season of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. It is a time when bonds are strengthened over shared meals, and cherished traditions are passed down from generation to generation. In celebration of this meaningful occasion, The Chicken Rice Shop (TCRS) introduces its latest festive creation—Hikayat Ayam Zamrud. More than just a dish, it is a tribute to Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage, bringing bold flavors, vibrant colors, and heartwarming nostalgia to the dining table.

A Tale of Tradition and Transformation

In the past, Raya celebrations were simple, marked by modest gatherings and home-cooked meals made with love. However, an old tale speaks of a moment that transformed festive feasts forever. According to legend, a cook stumbled upon a bag of emerald-green chilies, their radiant hue shimmering under the kitchen lights. Curious, the cook ground the chilies into a fragrant sambal hijau, adding a generous mix of local herbs and a dash of lime for a refreshing tang. The result was nothing short of magical—a sauce so rich, spicy, and aromatic that it elevated the entire meal, turning a humble dish into a grand feast.

Inspired by this enchanting story, Hikayat Ayam Zamrud is a modern retelling of that culinary transformation. This dish captures the essence of festivity, blending the familiar comfort of tender, juicy chicken with the bold and tantalizing flavors of sambal hijau.

A Symphony of Flavors in Every Bite

At the heart of Hikayat Ayam Zamrud is succulent, well-marinated chicken, cooked to perfection to ensure every bite is tender and flavorful. What sets this dish apart, however, is its signature sambal hijau—a lively combination of spicy green chilies, fragrant herbs, and a hint of lime that adds an irresistible depth of flavor. This fiery yet refreshing sambal balances heat with citrusy zest, making it an ideal companion to the juicy chicken.

Beyond its tantalizing taste, Hikayat Ayam Zamrud is designed to be a dish meant for sharing. Whether it is enjoyed at an iftar gathering or as part of a grand Raya open house spread, it brings people together, fostering moments of warmth, laughter, and heartfelt connections.

Celebrate the Festive Season with The Chicken Rice Shop

As Malaysians prepare to embrace the joy of Ramadan and Aidilfitri, The Chicken Rice Shop invites everyone to recreate the magic of tradition through food. Hikayat Ayam Zamrud is more than just a limited-time offering—it is a reminder of how food has the power to unite, inspire, and create unforgettable memories.

Available at all TCRS outlets nationwide, this special dish is only here for a limited time. Whether you are gathering with loved ones for a hearty iftar meal or celebrating Raya in full festive spirit, make sure to savor the Hikayat Ayam Zamrud experience before it’s gone.

This Ramadan and Aidilfitri, let every bite be a celebration of heritage, flavor, and togetherness
