Love Boon Tong Kee chicken rice very much. Personally, find it tastes better than Tian Tian Chicken Rice.
Visit BTK's East Coast shop because it is closing soon, quite a pity. Btw, I think the best branch still the Balester Road shop.
5 Star for Boon Tong Kee.
4 star for shop at East Coast.
I decided to drop in here with the family after walking past many times. It took effort to make our way past a number of people waiting outside to pick up take out - a good sign. Upon entering the restaurant, we were seated promptly and served iced water. We ordered the soup of the day and chicken rice. Chicken rice must be ordered with at least half a chicken and the rice is ordered separately (unusual for Singapore) and no soup is provided on the side (again, unusual for Singapore). The chicken rice here is my new favorite - which is saying something given the quality of chicken rice at 5 Star a few doors down (also at the Katong mall - another local favorite of mine in this area)! The chicken has very crispy aromatic skin - reminded me of a mash up of Hong Kong style and local chicken rice. Delicious. The lotus soup was in a nice broth with pork and octopus pieces. Hearty and comforting. Overall 5 Stars, would definitely return.
If I can give 10-stars to this experience, I’ll generously give it without any hesitations. The food is as expected, delicious. Still the best chicken rice I have tried. Other dishes we ordered also rise to the occasion. My personal favourite, this prawn salad. It is hot and crispy on the inside, and sweet and tangy on the outside.
In terms of service, Everybody’s very accommodating and helpful. We even broke a ceramic spoon and was immediately replaced and cleaned without extra charge. Will definitely go back as their food can easily be a comfort food.
Quite a good "ta pow" selection for a 6 to 7 pax small family with guests dinner gathering, comprising fried rice, boiled chicken with chlli/ginger sauce, fried long beans, eggplant, venison, prawns with egg sauce, and spinach with century, salted and ordinary eggs.
Went there because people were raving about their chicken rice. I think their chicken rice is very tasty and good price for the smallest portion ($11). However, they do sell rice separately from the chicken which is kind of weird to me. They also did not provide any soup. Usually the chicken rice stores I go to provide a set (with rice and soup). I also had their Thai tofu ($9). Kind of pricey for a couple 8 fried tofus! Veggies were around $10 for each dish. Overall, still delicious but expensive for the dishes.
Tasty food at reasonable restaurant prices. Signature boiled chicken is soft and tender. The daily soup is cheap and good. Their special chilli sauce and dark soy sauce brings the food even up a further notch. Service is good and fast.
