Boon Tong Kee is only worth it at the Balestier branch IMO, the quality at their branches are a far cry.

Tong Fong Fatt is pretty decent too, they also have a branch at Ghim Moh Food Centre. Ask for “ji wei” rou

Do try TONG FONG FATT chicken rice @ either ABC market or parkway’s hawker centre.

Rice is nice, chicken is more than tender. (:

Yewon: I tabao boon tong kee before, it was not too bad. But kind of expensive for a small packet of chicken rice

Bc: Okay! Boon tong kee’s fried toufu, got it

my taste heaven: i know right, i’m getting hungry looking at that photo

emy: tian tian chicken rice is pretty good, but there’s always a long queue during lunch

ian: AH the kampong chicken at thomson yea? I tried that before. But maybe it’s because i always had kampong chicken in Malaysia last time, so it didn’t exactly wow me

daphne: nan kee at upper thomson is different from wee nan kee at novena right? are they related or something?

Have you tried Nam Kee chicken rice at Upper Thomson road. The place is kinda old but the white chicken rice (and some of the side dishes), absolutely delectable.

i only been to 5 star at serangoon gardens where its doin very brisk biz both lunch and dinner .. the chicken is good but not the best … but the zhe char i do quite like … tho somewhat oily

but my fav chicken is still kampong chicken, either at upp thomson or at tiong bahru … its jus more tender and moist

Boon Tong Kee was a horrifying experience. Bought a drumstick rice and found that the skin is just too slick and the meat too soft to bite.

5 star does nothing for me.

Prefer Tian Tian else Chatterbox.

Five star for me! Plus, the rice there is a lot more fragrant to me than Boon Tong Kee’s.

Boon Tong Kee has good fried tofu though! Check it out the next time you go there.

I’d tried both Boon Tong Kee and 5 Star Hainanese chicken rice before and I much prefer 5 star
Imo, there’s nothing special about Boon Tong Kee…I don’t find it really good.
