[CLOSED] Boon Tong Kee (Macpherson)

What do you do when you’ve been deprived of chicken rice for months, and you’re constantly assaulted by pictures of the most titillating chicken rice around town on Instagram?

Simple. You go straight to the OG bird hawker to get that itch scratched real good the minute you hop off the plane. Boon Tong Kee has been around for decades, yet I have never quite appreciated their supple, tasty birds this much until now.

Boon Tong Kee’s Cantonese style steamed chicken is tastier than the Hainanese equivalent, and the hot soy sauce mixture that they pour over the chicken just elevates the wonderful flavors to another level. The flesh is supple, moist and utterly unforgettable. The skin is like gelatin; wobbly, slippery and excitingly enjoyable.

The chicken rice is one of the best in the world too. It’s heavy, full of fabulous flavor, fluffy, and stunningly slick. The fragrance is almost better than the taste, as you can smell the rice coming to your table, and it is heaven.

Truly, the humble Singaporean (hands off, Malaysia) dish of chicken rice is an art form of its own.

Never let me down, the steamed chicken at Boon Tong Kee is always tender , juicy, not oily, very tasty - yum!

looks plain but this tofu is 😍 soft silken tofu with crispy tasty coat

had this flavorful steamed chicken [☝ dat sauce tho 😍😍] for lunch!

Lived up to the expectation indeed!

The ginger spring onion condiment to go with it is really good, but the oyster sauce is just too much. The meat of the cold chicken is really tender and tasty. Yum =) Chicken rice is slightly harder than I like but is definitely fragrant and delicious. .
