2 Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice at Katong Shopping Centre
custom

If you’re heading to Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice at Katong Shopping Centre, remember to go hungry. Like, really hungry. True to its name, the chicken here is really delicious, and the accompanying soup is actually a proper Chinese soup – instead of the usual plain and bland soup that you get at a lot of chicken rice stalls. You’ll also get a serving of achar, which is an unusual accompaniment for chicken rice, but the refreshing pickled vegetables really whet your appetite for the main course.

Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice is at Katong Shopping Centre #B1-85/87, 865 Mountbatten Rd, Singapore 437844.

For those of you who are really particular about the chilli and other accompanying sauces for chicken rice, try Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at Bedok South Market. The stall serves up a mean juicy chicken, and the cherry on top will be the scrumptious chilli and ginger garlic sauce. Tip: drench the whole dish in those sauces – you won’t regret it.

5. Poh Poh Roasted Chicken Rice
custom

Those who reside in Serangoon Gardens would be familiar with the beloved Poh Poh Roasted Chicken Rice. Back in its heyday, when it was still located at a corner coffee shop, there’d be long queues – especially during lunch hour and on weekends. Thankfully, the queue isn’t as long anymore since it shifted to Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre, but you still get the same great taste. The meat is soft and juicy, the rice fragrant and tasty. And yes, the chilli still packs a strong garlic punch.

Poh Poh Roasted Chicken Rice is at Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre Stall 15, 49A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555945.

6. Hainanese Delicacy
custom

Here’s an oldie, but still a goodie. While the queues used to be longer, the baby-bottom-smooth chicken hasn’t lost its oily charm, and the piping hot salted vegetable duck soup (ordered separately) still packs a punch. And the uncles still make you share tables at peak hours.

Hainanese Delicacy is at #05-116, Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Rd, Singapore 228213.
