[CLOSED] Sin Kee (The Bedok Marketplace)

Ordered @sinkee_simpangbedok's chicken rice the other day and got chicken rice balls! They were huge and very filling plus the roast chicken was tender too! The sets were definitely value for money and it's something I'll definitely order again 😋

So happy that I’ve finally found a chicken rice that I would crave for! I’m not one to eat chicken rice usually as I dislike the heavy, oily feeling the meal usually leaves me, but not this one! This one feels “healthier”.

For me, I judge my chicken rice by the rice and the condiments - this one definitely gets ticks for both. The rice is fragrant and fluffy, with each individual rice grain separated but not too oily. The condiments really complete the dish - the chilli is equal parts garlicky + tangy and I like how the ginger is freshly grated, topped off with spring onions, instead of being doused in oil.

Chicken rice has always been one of the go-to rice dishes for many as not only is it convenient and delicious to eat, it is a fail-proof dish that will fill you up quickly. What sets a good chicken rice apart from the mediocre standard ones are attributed to three components, the rice, chicken and chilli sauce. The ginger garlic infused rice is an important component to an enjoyable chicken rice experience as it will be the first aroma that hits you when served. Cook it right, and the aroma perfumes the surrounding while you savour each grain’s oiliness and bite. The chicken, be it steamed or roasted, needs to have the nice tender bite with the flavour accentuated by the sesame oil and soya sauce mixture. Last but not least, the ingredient that binds the chicken and rice together is the chilli sauce (or for some, the dark soya sauce). The importance is so great that it has been culturized to be called the ‘chicken rice chilli’ and what makes a great chicken rice chilli is the perfect balance of spicy kick and tanginess.

Over the Sin Kee Simpang Bedok, they have ticked all the above criteria for their excellent ginger garlic rice that will leave you wanting more, the tender-to-the-bite roasted chicken that has been touched by the umami savoury soya sauce mixture and lastly, the chicken rice chilli that will have you mix in with the rice or dipped with the chicken.
