Since there are so many reviews about Ipoh Tuck Kee Son’s Yu Kong Hor, Wat Tan Hor, Dai Loke Mee and Steamed Octopus, I’m going to skip and focus on one of their dish that deserves more attention - Braised Chicken Feet. It is my humble opinion that they have the best in Singapore.

This ubiquitous dish can be found in dim sum, Wantan mee stalls, etc. But what you normally get are chicken feet that are first deep fried and then braised. At Ipoh Tuck Kee Son, the chicken feet are simply braised. It is so well done, the flesh comes off by itself as you roll it with you tongue inside your mouth. The chicken feet are small but no lacking in the gelatinous cartilage found in larger chicken feet. As you suck on the flesh, star anise and cinnamon flavour comes across with the savoury of soya sauce. My one complain is it would be nicer if they added dried chilli to the braise sauce to give it a spicy kick. But that can be fixed with their murderously spicy balachan chilli sauce.

Finally, this outlet at Katong Shopping Center is every bit as good a the original stall at Foch Road. Expect a huge crowd and a long waiting time during lunch.
