Boon Tong Kee

Harsh! Singaporeans are harsh when it comes to judging food but I guess with good right since they do know what’s good on this island. However for me, being from NYC and now living in Singapore, this place was like 0₀ life changing! I swear I saw stars and the angels came down and started spoon feeding me this chicken rice!
They «say» it gets even better than this, and I HAVE tried another place which they said was THE place to eat chicken rice, and was extremely disappointed. So for now, this is my #1 chicken rice place until I find another even better place.
This place is near where I live so it was the closest good chicken rice nearby. What else can I say? Something that looks so unassuming, chicken, rice and kai lan, IS that good! We also ordered gizzard. So all that came to S$ 30. I guess your paying for a fancier kitchen and electricity for that aircon in this restaurant.
P. S. ask for the grated ginger, if you don’t ask, they don’t deliver.

This new location is at the same car park where Melben seafood is.
BTK only does white chicken. I’ve never been a big fan of BTK. It is just a convenient place to bring visitors if they want to try hainanese chicken rice and do not need to sweat it out at a hawker centre.
This experience is the same. The chicken is tender and moist but not exactly flavorful and it doesn’t reach my definition of succulent.
We tried their new vegetable dish of fried mushrooms with green veg. The fried mushrooms are too sweet as it is coated with honey. The coating is so sweet that you can’t taste the mushrooms.
Service was very attentive and courteous.
FYI. They now give you two chargeable appetizers: peanuts ($ 1.50) and honey glazed pork ($ 3). So remember to say no if you do not want them.
