Mackenzie Rex Restaurant has been cooking up a storm of wonderful dishes since 1966. It is one of my family’s favourite Chinese restaurants, and I plan to religiously bring my family here for every celebratory event like birthdays and holidays. And the best part? It is halal certified! Hot plate beancurd S$16 (medium serving) For side dishes and starters, we usually order the hot plate beancurd and fried mixed vegetable.

According to the culinary grapevine, Boon Tong Kee chicken rice once had the best chicken rice in Singapore. However, as most knowledgeable foodies are aware, over the years it has become more commercialised, expanding from a small humble stall to multiple outlets across the island. The menu now boasts not just chicken rice, but a plethora of local favourites such as chilli crab and raw fish salad. Even with the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/boon-tong-kee-chicken-rice/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/chatterbox-mandarin-orchard/ https://sparklette.net/food/chatterbox-mandarin-orchard/#comments Mon, 31 Jan 2011 03:00:24 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1073

Every food lover in Singapore and tourists who have picked up a copy of a travel guidebook must have heard of Chatterbox at Mandarin Orchard Hotel. Done up in earthy hues of green and beige, the restaurant is infamous for dishing up the most expensive chicken rice in town. Apart from that, the menu features several other local hawker fares at prices many times that at run-of-the-mill hawker stalls. Loyalists […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/chatterbox-mandarin-orchard/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/wee-nam-kee-hainanese-chicken-rice/ https://sparklette.net/food/wee-nam-kee-hainanese-chicken-rice/#comments Thu, 10 Jun 2010 08:39:47 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=976

When it comes to Hainanese chicken rice, I like it oily and flavourful rather than heart-healthy and bland, calories be damned! My favourite place to indulge in a sinful but oh-so-good plate of chicken is Tong Fong Fatt. Where is yours? Wee Nam Kee is one of the few names that always pop up when people talk about their favourite Hainanese chicken rice, along with Boon Tong Kee, Tian Tian […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/wee-nam-kee-hainanese-chicken-rice/feed/ 6 https://sparklette.net/food/fook-seng-goldenhill-chicken-rice/ https://sparklette.net/food/fook-seng-goldenhill-chicken-rice/#comments Thu, 25 Mar 2010 09:00:26 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=951

I have heard a lot about Fook Seng GoldenHill Chicken Rice online. This is a small coffee shop perched at the top of the hill in the quiet Jalan Rumah Tinggi residential estate. The area is accessible by the bus service 63. This is also where you would find Singapore’s smallest bus terminal, with just a single bus service that terminates here. Despite its little known location, many netizens have […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fook-seng-goldenhill-chicken-rice/feed/ 9 https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/kaiton-pratunam-bangkok/ https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/kaiton-pratunam-bangkok/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:04:56 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=901

At first glance, Kaiton in Pratunam looks like any other street food vendor in Bangkok. A small stand fronts the eatery, where staff busily prepare plate after plate of food to be served to customers. Yet, beyond its nondescript facade lies possibly the best Khao Mun Kai (chicken rice) in Bangkok. Kaiton is one place where I would always make a stop at on all my trips to Bangkok.

It’s no secret that Singaporeans love Hainanese chicken rice. In fact we love it so much, we introduce it everywhere. It’s almost impossible to go to a hawker centre or a food court and not find a chicken rice stall. The humble plate of Hainanese chicken rice has even found its way onto the menus of luxurious hotel restaurants, Singapore airlines flights and also the Singapore food sampler given to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/tong-fong-fatt-hainanese-boneless-chicken-rice/feed/ 17 https://sparklette.net/food/sing-ho-hainan-chicken-rice/ https://sparklette.net/food/sing-ho-hainan-chicken-rice/#comments Sun, 13 Aug 2006 13:18:31 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=442

For those of you who love Hainanese chicken rice like I do, you are probably quite wary of the high fat and cholesterol content of this popular dish. The essence of a good plate of chicken rice lies very much in the rice itself. The most savoury rice tends to have been cooked in chicken fat, which doesn’t exactly appeal to the health-conscious.

If you are in the Bukit Merah vicinity and you happen to be craving for a warm plate of Hainanese chicken rice, head over to Sin Heng Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice at ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre.
