Hawker Eats × Steamed / Hainanese Chicken 海南鸡 🐔

The chicken was tender and smooth with a nice bite to the meat. The rice portion was generous (more than I’d usually finish) and the chilli was so good it kept me going, pairing perfectly with both the chicken and the rice. With the clear soup and fresh garnishes on the side, the set felt complete and satisfying 》$10 / 2 Pax Portion

Classic, fuss-free chicken rice that hits the spot. I get both poached and roasted chicken, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil, plus a light chicken broth on the side. The meat is tender and juicy and the rice pairs perfectly with the garlic chilli and dark soy sauce. Simple, comforting and exactly what I’d expect from a good old-school chicken rice plate.

Tried the chicken rice at Feng Ji and honestly left a bit disappointed. Ordered for 2 pax, but the portion felt way too small for the price. It didn’t come with soup or vegetables, which makes it even less value for money when compared to their individual set meal that include both.

The chicken was tender and succulent, no complaints there. But the rice lacked the usual fragrance you’d expect, and the chilli was average at best. Decent execution on the chicken, but overall, it didn’t quite live up to expectations.

📍Feng Ji Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice (丰记海南起骨鸡饭) | #02-K16

We arrived past 8pm and they were left with the last few plates of chicken breast meat. Even though I don't really order breast meat because they are usually tough and dry, I am glad that we proceed with our order. The meat was tender and juicy. The rice was equally good without being too oily and comes with a firm bite to each grain, packed with fragrance from the chicken stock and ginger 》$8

Taste less oil and more goodness in every bite. This is a healthier version of chicken rice where they use free range kampung chicken cooked in traditional Hainanese style and served with house-made chilli and ginger sauce. The chicken was soft, tender and juicy while the rice was fragrant, not too oily and firm. It is healthier, lesser fats, leaner, lower in cholesterol, contains more fibre and richer in flavour.

The hometown tofu is house-made with fresh soy milk. It was crisp on the outside and silky smooth on the inside, sitting in a savoury minced meat sauce.

Soft and tender kampung chicken with a firm bite. The rice is fragrant with the use of pandan leaves and cooked till fluffy with a nice grainy texture. One good thing was the rice not being too oily.

The beansprouts that came topped with silverfish, chilli, spring onions and pepper are plump and crunchy but a little light on flavours. Overall the food was slightly above average but the price is on the high side for the portion served.

Boneless, smooth and tender juicy chicken 🐔 drenched in soy sauce that’s not overly salty. I like to mix my rice with their chicken soya sauce, dark soya sauce and chilli together.

Chicken was steamed without much seasoning after which, dipped in ginger sauce before consumption. The ginger sauce is a fragrant and tasty compliment to the chicken. You may wrap the chicken in lettuce to achieve that crunch when you bite into the popular Samsui Ginger Chicken 》$19.90 / Small

BTK right after a morning run at MacRitchie Reservoir is sinful but satisfying to the hungry tummies. One of my favourite places for tender, juicy white steamed chicken with their signature pyramid shaped rice and chilli sauce 😉
