Mui Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice

Rice was fragrant but considering it's the breast, the steamed chicken was understandably slightly tough. The roasted chicken drumstick fared better but still wasn't too impressive as I've been spoilt by xingyun hainanese chicken rice. Have to mention that for 50c, the chicken liver was q generous and it's commendable that they add their own touches to the dish, such as the chicken bone and feet soup with shredded veggies, as well as the chili sauce that's slightly different from the usual. Still, it's a great choice if you live in the area

According to Tastemaker Xing Wei Chua, Mui Kee Chicken Rice serves really good steamed chicken — in his words, "extremely tender and succulent, juicy and moist". While this neighbourhood establishment (it's not far from Tampines East Neighbourhood Police Post) was pretty quiet when he visited on a weekday, he heard that it garners quite a queue for its chicken rice on weekends, so be prepared! This place also serves roast pork and char siew, both of which Tastemaker Xing Wei says are on the leaner side. Your best bet is to focus on the yummy Chicken Rice ($3), paired with the fragrant rice.

While looking pretty quiet on a weekday, it is said that this place has quite a queue on weekends for their chicken rice. Amongst the three meats that we have ordered, the one that stood out to us the most was definitely the steamed chicken — extremely tender and succulent, the chicken was juicy and moist. The roast pork and char siew were both on the leaner side — the former was reasonably savoury though the crisp skin comes with a little bit of chewy, gelatinous fat, while the latter was a little more pedestrian feeling a tad generic. Rice was decently fragrant to match the steamed chicken; not too oily as well.
