I was recommended by a local friend that this is one of the best Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore and it has been there for as long as he could remember. So, last weekend we made a trip to try this Hainanese delicacy and I must say that this is now one of my favourite Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore.

This restaurant may not be well known to tourists like Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, but it is very popular among the locals. The restaurant is located in the Far East Plaza at Scotts Road which is few minutes’ walk from the Orchard MRT station.

When we arrived at the restaurant, there were 6 people queueing in front of the restaurant. It is an “old-school” restaurant, small in size with about 10 tables and you may need to share table during peak hours. It’s mostly packed during lunch hours, so try to be there before 12pm to prevent long queue.  We waited around 15-20 minutes to get a table.

The menu is sticked on the glass wall in the restaurant. 


We ordered half a chicken and requested ‘half-half’ which is a mix of both steamed chicken and roasted chicken. We also ordered some side dishes – chicken gizzards, vegetable with oyster sauce and salted vegetable duck soup. There are some chili sauce, minced ginger and soy sauce on the table to go with the chicken rice.


The chicken is so tender, juicy and tasty! The rice is so fragrant and it tastes very well with the chicken. Definitely not forgetting the salted vegetable duck soup, the taste reminds me of the old days where my grandmother used to make this soup. I like the richness of the soup, it’s sour and flavorful, just simply delicious. The salted vegetable duck soup is a fast selling menu in the restaurant. So, be early to avoid disappointment.

Price wise, it’s quite reasonable and economy for a quick and nice meal. If you’re a fan of Hainanese Chicken Rice, you should not miss this. Check out the location map below of this restaurant.
