Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice

Old school of chicken rice. I order white chicken and porridge. The porridge is teochew style, watery and no sticky

I'm on a mission: to eat at all the offshoots of the storied Sin Kee brand, split off from the motherlode like the horcruxes of Voldemort, to find out which one is the true inheritor of the chicken rice of my childhood. Our first stop is the Sin Kee located at Holland Close. It's a far cry from what I remember - a bustling operation dominating the facade of the kopitiam; now, it occupies a single store amongst many. Doesn't mean it's bad, though - this is quality chicken rice, good enough to be a regular stop for those living nearby, though not so good that I'd give it the crown right this moment. Rice: ***** - Plump, firm grains, every one of which is coated in glistening fragrant chicken oil. Chicken: **** - Very good, though a teeny bit drier than the best I've had. The chicken gravy is very good, and the jellied skin is a guilty pleasure. Chili: **** - Very, very spicy and piquant, though lacking that last mile of umami depth; the spiciness overwhelms the flavors a bit. Soup: ??? - No soup was served, and none was available on request. Quite the shocking lapse - a good bowl of chicken rice stock is essential to round out any good chicken rice meal. We also got the roast pork, which I do not recommend at all - the skin is kind of soggy and chewy, the opposite of what you want. Stick to what you're best at, I say.

Chicken is well cooked with no blood. Meat is smooth and tender. Innards and beansprouts were also crunchy. Lastly, rice is fragrant with unbroken grains. Well done. Only area to be improve, is the chicken quality. Unlike kampung chicken, the meat fall apart when chopped.

Flavourful, moist, tender chicken. Good chicken rice. Roast chicken skin is very crispy. Char siew pork unfortunately is tough and isn't very flavourful. Dined in during a weekday lunch, and no queue.

This is not the Michelin one. I went wrong as the store name is deceiving. But overall the chicken is very tender, and the rice is fragrance. The chilli ginger and black sauce is abit watery. Price is reasonable.

Our family's all-time favourite chicken rice stall. Will always order only chicken breast meat, which is very tender and juicy. The vegetables are great too.

Chicken rice was soft and fragrant, and the chicken breast meat was quite tender. However the Char Siew was very fat, so please request for lean meat when ordering. I feel the best dish here which I would recommend to order is Roasted Chicken Rice with thigh meat!

Noticed that during lunchtime this stall has the longest queue so try out. The good point about this chicken rice stall is their chicken meat is moist even for roast chicken. The sad thing is their chili sauce is not the normal kind you get around SG which I felt does not pair with the food.
