Alert ⚠️ Support and enjoy the awesome chicken rice while you can. This hidden gem is closing in one week, and they currently have no plans in relocating.
Famous for its poached chicken with the authentic jelly under the chicken skin, Tiong Bahru Hainanese Curry Rice & Chicken Rice also provides free chicken soup for every person at the table. And every bowl of this clear soup comes with some chunks of chicken meat, not forgetting to mention - it is refillable.
Some of the popular side dishes include Salad Youtiao ($3.50) and Homemade Tofu ($3.50). Of course, if you want to stay focused like me, just order quarter poached chicken ($11) and quarter roasted chicken ($11) to indulge the best of both worlds.
I had lunch at Tiong Bahru Hainanese Curry Rice & Chicken Rice and one thing that struck me is that the rice is really delicious - it is plump, moist and thoroughly infused with the fragrance of chicken fat.
We ordered Half Steamed Chicken ($13) and Half Roasted Chicken ($13) and although the chicken is cooked through, it remains tender and juicy. The portion is very generous and I like that salted vegetables are served on the side to go with it. Thumbs up for good old comfort food!
