Sin Heng Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice - This is One Mouthful

if you happen to be in the bukit merah vicinity and craving for a warm plate of hainanese chicken rice, head over to sin heng kee at 28 hoy fatt road. this friendly family-run stall sells some of the cheapest and yummiest chicken rice around!

for starters, the standard price for a plate of chicken rice at most hawker centers and coffee shops is $2.50. over here, a plate of fragrant chicken rice with a generous serving of tender chicken breast sets you back by just $2! absolutely value for money!

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Dish rating:

i am not exaggerating when i say that the hainanese chicken rice here is one of the best. how many times have you eaten shoddily prepared chicken rice that comes with measly portions of dry chicken meat and plain white rice instead of chicken rice? over here, you are assured of a sumptuous meal of chicken rice with a warm bowl of soup to wash down the yumminess. oh and did i mention the fresh tomato and cucumber too?

my mom and i both LOVE this stall because of its generous serving. the first time we came here, we were surprised by the huge portion of chicken breast meat we got for just $6. there was enough food for four people! back then i had attributed the huge portion to the fact that the stall was perhaps closing for the day and had a lot of leftover chicken. but the second and third times we visited, our portions just grew bigger and bigger!

and it’s not just about having quantity. sin heng kee certainly doesn’t compromise on the quality of the food. the rice is fragrant, savory and non-oily while the skinless chicken meat is silky smooth and delightfully tender too. the chili sauce and dark soy sauce are perfect with the chicken too! if i had my wish i would eat it everyday!

i simply cannot find any fault with the sin heng kee hainanese chicken rice stall, except for its somewhat drab look. but that’s not really its fault since the stall itself is clean and brightly lit, but the coffee shop as a whole isn’t in particular a cheery looking one.

cheap chicken rice that is delicious at the same time is quite rare these days. if you happen to drop by the area, this nondescript stall is worth checking out for a quick, no-fuss meal.
