I'm sorry but the char siew sucks. Actually burnt and not v tender
Siobak had a strong hard crunch
Roasted ckn was tender and lovely
Rice was slightly chewy and very flavourful
Overall it's worth a visit if you're in the area, since it's quite expensive
We ordered roasted chicken on our second visit to this stall as I was recommended that. We had arrived around 1pm and honestly, not that much was left. Obviously, business is good at this stall. Anyway, I thought the chicken itself was very well done - really juicy and flavourful even for the breast meat. The rice was fragrant but we found it a little clumpy that day. Couldn’t resist ordering a plate of the Sio Bak (Roasted Pork Belly) again to share but I must admit, when I ate it with the rice meant for chicken rice, the combination became too salty. More so when I added the chilli sauce.
Note to self: Need to have the Sio Bak with plain rice next time.
Warning: this is not where to come if you are the health-conscious sort because (and I speak only for the roasted meats because those are what I had this afternoon) the fat and salt in them proteins are loud and proud! But that is also precisely why I find the food here so damn tasty 😋😋
From the gorgeous mahogany-coloured Roasted Duck (it’s really juicy) to the black-ish Char Siew (not exactly melt-in-the-mouth but nice and moist) to the salty-of-crackling Sio Bak (packs a powerful crunchiness and is super juicy), there’s no doubt the meats at “Nan Xiang Chicken Rice” have all been seasoned and marinated with a no-holds-barred attitude. Clearly, big flavours is their number one priority, and I love that! The stall’s chilli and ginger sauces also hit the mark - I could not resist splashing them over my rice.
You should be able to find “Nan Xiang Chicken Rice” easily as it is located at a corner coffeeshop next to the Caltex petrol station on Tanjong Katong Road. And for as long as it is open (they start at 9am everyday except for Tuesdays which is their day off), there seems to always be a line of customers out in front. I am sure this scene has not changed much in the last five decades they have been for business.
On my next visit, I plan to try the chicken rice because I got a DM on Instagram from @terenceongwh (who happens to be a regular there) that theirs is very good.
Sadly they sold out their signature roasted meats so i go for their chicken rice.
but there is always such a long queue here and was curious why? It's a chicken rice stall but I've found out that their charsiew is out of this world. The skin of the charsiew got the chowtah taste and there's even a crunch when you bite into it with a balance of lean and fatty meat inside followed by that caramelised chewy end. I'm impressed. #burpple
Great lunch! The roasted chicken, Hong Kong style roast pork belly- Char Siew and Sio Bak. If you are somewhere near here, you should not missed this! Yes! The Char Siew is old school and marvelous! #epochtimesfood
That's a lot of meat for only $6! A queue is always seen here, with people ordering half/whole chicken for takeaway.
🔸
This is my ranking of the three meat I ordered:
1 - Roast pork for its crispy skin
2 - Roast chicken with tender juicy flesh and thin chewy skin
3 - Char siew which weren't as charred as I hoped. Can skip this.
🔸
I'll choose this stall for my roasts whenever I'm in this area. It felt like an old school and honest stall, at a very affordable price. Missing the roast chicken thigh already..
what I love most about this place is the big juicy slices of char siew and shio ba (roast pork). the shop has a traditional 1960s flavor as well. we ate a storm of roast pork, and it only cost us $5.50 per person!
Usually not a fan of fatty meat, but this has got to be one of the best charred char siew I’ve eaten! Unknowingly ate half the plate by myself! 😅 #buzzfeast #dailyfoodfeed #delicious #eeeeeats #feedfeed #foodbeast #foodgasm #foodiegram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #foodlover #foodography #foodpic #foodpics #onthetable #heresmyfood #instayum #smartfoodchoices #tastemade #foodphotography #foodblogger #fooddiary #foodforfoodies #hungrygowhere #tripadvisor #chope #burpple #letsguide
all the lousy cuts and mediocre roasting. otherwise, standard must have dropped. a far cry from my first visit when i had it for lunch at 11 am previously

This stall in an old kopitiam keeps packing in the crowd from noon to night. Established since 1967.
🔸🔸
Roasted chickens, ducks, charsiew, siobak (roasted crackling pork belly) & white chicken hang precariously within the glass cabinet. You can see the shine, the crispy, the charred and the oils dripping all in one place. The queue gets longer during peak hours and one can hear the nonstop chop chop chop on the wooden block.
🔸🔸
Roasted chicken with skin so crisp abd flesh juicy and moist. Siobak crackled and charsiew sweet, fatty and chewy. I love the rice. Soft and fragrant.
🔸🔸
Is it the best? Not in my book but much better than some. If you are in the hood, no harm trying. Just eyeball the queue because it is basically the only queue one sees along the stretch of shophouses.

Generally good quality pork here.. The char siew is the star for me as the hint of sweetness and bitter aftertaste hits the right spot.! Would prefer some fats on it though! Sio Bak is decent but more to the salty side. The roast chicken is generally the most ordinary amongst the lot! All in all, I can see why this stall is popular as it serves quality food!
