We shall compare 3 chicken rice stalls that we have reviewed so far, and find out which one is the best chicken rice in Singapore. Here is a quick overview of how these chicken rice faired in our assessments. Tian Tian Chicken Rice - Chinatown Ming Ji Chicken Rice - Bishan Seng Heng Chicken Rice - Bukit Timah How did it taste? 4.0 4.5 5.0 Was it worth the price? 5.0 5.0 5.0 How was their attitude / service? 4.5 5.0 5.0 Overall Rating 4.5 4.8 5.0 Tian Tian Chicken Rice - Chinatown Chicken was good but could be more tender and more seasoning, hence the drop in points for taste. They weren't rude nor impolite, but could do with more enthusiasm. Ming Ji Chicken Rice - Bishan Even with amazing crowds turning up, every single person tending to the stall were courteous and driven, greeting customer politely and communicating with each other in an orderly manner. Their process is a well oi...

Craving for some delicious wanton noodles from Soi 19 Wanton Mee, we headed down to Upper Thomson to try out their original and black sauce wanton noodles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Both original and black sauce noodles were delectably blanched and mixed with their savoury and briny sauce mix which was exceptionally tasty and irresistible. Its black sauce version was slightly more heavy on the sauce mix with saltier taste but still flavourful. Fried pork lard were delightful, full of crunch and yummilicious for the crunchy crispy texture to go along with the noodles. Char siew chunks were tender and generously given, complimenting the delicious noodles. Soup was full-bodied and rich in depth and flavour. Portion was generous and filling for a hungry afternoon lunch. Pricing ranges from regular $5.30, large $6.30 and jumbo $7.30, which are more than reasonably priced. Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee has the qual...

  Flaky crunchy firm crayfish at Lai Huat Seafood Restaurant, YumzYumz tried out this famous popular dish and here is our food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) They have a few types of flavour and we chose the most popular, black pepper. Every bit of each halved crayfish was covered with their black pepper concoction, which seemed to be really spicy. However, upon tasting, it was delightfully moderate pepperish and savoury. Crayfish flesh was also slightly crisp on its surface, with deep frying but yet not overtly done. Picking its flesh out and smelling its aroma emitting from within was a pleasure to behold. Tasting it was over the top delectable, umami overdose. Its flesh was springy and fresh, with the black pepper flavouring elevating it to another level of satisfaction. Additionally, as the crayfish legs were all deep fried crispy, we broke them off, wrapped them with some lettuce and it was crazily enjoyable...

  Seeking a culinary adventure? Look no further than bustling Horne Road. Right opposite Jalan Besar Sports Centre, Lai Huat Seafood Restaurant delights patrons with its Sambal Balachan Fish. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate Step into Lai Huat and the aromas of frying fish and spicy sambal hit you. They don't just serve any fish dish; it’s a plate of perfectly fried pomfret topped with famously fiery sambal balachan. Chefs blend traditional shrimp paste with chillies, garlic, and shallots, creating a unique culinary magic. The result? A crispy, golden delight. The first bite explodes with flavors. The crunchy exterior reveals moist, flaky flesh. The sambal stands out, mingling spicy, savory, and slightly sweet notes. It’s so compelling, you’ll need another bite. Not Just a Dish, But an Experience At $45 a plate, the Sambal Balachan Fish might seem like a splurge, but it justifies every p...

  Chunky roasted pork (sio bak) and chewy char siew (barbeque pork), YumzYumz tried out A& I Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice's other two proteins besides their tasty steamed chicken. Here is our food review of their char siew and sio bak. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Each sio bak piece was huge and chunky, with the bottom part pleasantly salty, mid portion with a well balanced soft chewy fats and lean meat, and finally a crispy crunchy skin at the top, tasting almost like fried pork lard. So delicious! Their char siew weren't exactly inviting, resembling almost like factory made fan choys, sliced thinly and no charred bits. However, appearance can be deceiving, as it tasted savory and tender, although alittle charring could do it more justice. Nevertheless, this is their style and it was as good as it gets. Both char siew and sio baks were great, and with their nicely steamed fragrant oil rice ( 油饭 ), $4 for su...

  Right at the west end of Singapore lays an almost hidden small coffee shop which houses a hidden gem that offers fantastic chicken rice which we were introduced. Here is YumzYumz food review of their steamed chicken rice. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Let's go straight to what's so special about A & I Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice's offerings. Their steam chicken comes with a unique sauce, and forgive us if we are so under exposed to the world of glorious food. It tasted with strong hua diao wine ( 花雕酒 ) and probably the usual of sesame oil and such. But the main draw was definitely the hua diao wine which emits so strongly, it gives the chicken so much extra dimension, it wins hands down against many other mundane chicken rice stalls that we have tried so far. Chicken was tender and as we always gets the breast meat, as long as it is tender, we can be sure the rest of the chicken would definitely be muc...

  Located within a coffee shop next to CHIJ Primary Toa Payoh, YumzYumz tried out this chicken rice stall at Maxim Star Coffee Shop and here is our food review of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Plating was standard and somewhat inviting, with an obvious overdosed sauce on the proteins. Sauce was a mixture of chicken rice based soy sauce sesame oil concoction, and char siew sweet gravy. The result was somewhat confusing and seemed like a haphazardly done botched dish. Nevertheless, chicken was tender, quantity was given generously, easily 50% more than what we usually get from other stalls ( no, we don't know them ^^ ). Char siew was limp, sweet, drenched in the abomination of sauce and slightly tough. Thankfully the rice was nicely done, not mushy and separated grains, tasty and wen really well with the thick spicy zesty chili sauce. For a $4 plate of tasty rice with generous portion of roasted chicken and char siew,...

  Infamous for their attitude more than food, Ang Mo Kio's Hup Hup bak chor mee has been around for decades and here is YumzYumz's food review for their bak chor mee. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) There were two choices, mee kia or mee pok, and we went for mee kia. Plating was somewhat inviting with nicely placed ingredients. With their signature deep fried wanton skins on top, obscuring the noodles, minced meat, and fish cakes. Noodles were blanched nicely, although on the softer side yet subtly chewy. Braised mushrooms were mundane, nothing worth mentioning. Minced meat and pork slices were slightly tough but gave each mouthful of noodles the extra bite. Mixed within the sauce mix was bits and pieces of fried pork lard which to be frank was the main essential element to the whole dish, fragrant and crispy. Soup on the side was thick and full of pork bits, with quite a heavy touch of porky flavour. Final...

  Located within Beach Road Prawn Mee Eating House, we found East Coast Ngoh Hiang which is supposingly quite popular for their ngoh hiang selections. YumzYumz gave it a try and this is our food review for it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Some might say this is chinese rojak (heard some friends saying it), but it isn't chinese rojak. Chinese rojaks are something like what Rojak Popiah & Cockle makes. Anyway, with their array of choices, here are what we chose : Prawn crackers at $1.80 x2 Beancurd skin at $2.20 x2 Prawn roll at $3.20 Ngoh hiang at $1.40 Fried yam at $1.10 Every item was deep fried, chopped up and served. But with any good fried food, the items didn't taste oily, but rather, scrumptiously crispy and addictive. Prawn crackers are usually the first item at any ngor hiang stall where we will feel overly oil filled. However, East Coast Ngoh Hiang definitely tasted otherwise. Worth mentioning would b...

  Infamous for difficulties in finding a parking spot along the road side, YumzYumz head down to Beach Road Prawn Mee Eating House for their amazing prawn noodles. This is our food review for their dry jumbo prawn mee. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) For prawn noodles, we always prefer to try out dry versions, so as to get a taste of how their dry sauce mix is, as well as their soup base on the side. For Beach Road Prawn Mee Eating House's soup, it was one of the best we had, being the soul of their dishes. Extremely deep prawn flavoured broth, sweet as it touched our taste buds, followed by a lingering savoury and subtle pepperish and herby flavour. Comparing their normal sized prawn noodles, jumbo was certainly a huge difference. The prawns were almost mini lobster size, crunchy fresh texture with creamy prawn head butter. The halved jumbo prawns were almost twice the size of their usual prawns, and was definitely an am...
