First time trying pow sing, pleasantly surprised! They are known for the chicken rice, amongst other signature dishes like the prawn rolls. Not hotel 5 star food, but they are as unassuming appearances as they are delightfully fresh. Will try again if in the area!
I have been eating chicken rice at Pow Sing since I was a little boy. Back then it was in a coffeeshop on the side, which is a bank now. The queue was always long and I grew up eating chicken rice from Pow Sing, and it is my favourite chicken rice. Now, I bring my wife and children to have chicken rice at Pow Sing. They have their own restaurant now, and has moved a few shops away from the original place.
Chicken Rice (SGD $6.50) @ Pow Sing Kitchen.

Founded in 1983 by Lee Chin Soo and Steven Tan, this heritage chicken rice brand is also known for their range of Peranakan dishes.
.
While they formerly had roast chicken readily available, they've since focused solely on poached chicken. It's clean-tasting with a light springy tender chew, mild sweet savoury flavour, nicely pleasant.
.
The rice is aromatic and fluffy with grainy sweet notes. As a set meal, they also serve it with a vegetable of the day, in this case, I had tender broccoli and carrots with vegetal sweet flavour.
.
Couldn't resist getting the add-on bakwan kepiting / minced pork and crab meat ball soup at SGD $8 too.
