Hainanese Chicken Rice
What's thisβ
A simple yet delicious dish of poached chicken and seasoned rice with cucumber garnishes, usually accompanied by sweet soya sauce, chili sauce and ginger scallion oil.Β
π‘Insider tipsΒ
- Ask for the boneless parts for a more hassle-free eating experience
- Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is NOT worth the long queue imo

Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice
@little.miss.picky
Featured in MICHELIN Bib Gourmand.
Probably the best value-for-money chicken rice you'll find on the entire island with prices starting at SGD 3.5, which includes a comforting bowl of chicken soup (no MSG) as well!

Boon Tong Kee Restaurant
@little.miss.picky
This is their OG branch that opened in 1983.
Highly recommend the deep fried bean curd too.
Take note that there is a surcharge of SGD0.3 for the wet towels, which you can ask them to waive if you don't use.
