"Expect a long queue, but the velvety chicken with springy skin is worth the wait. Even the aromatic oil rice and briny-sweet sauce are perfectly made. Consider ordering half a chicken to share, or an extra drumstick." - Michelin Inspector
"A hawker-stall staple inside a bustling food centre known for delivering a tangibly satisfying plate of Hainanese chicken rice; representative of the city’s celebrated hawker culture and its designation as intangible heritage." - Kevin West Kevin West Kevin West is a writer, food consultant, and “canning evangelist” (according to NPR).

"Chicken rice, a deceptively simple pairing of delicately poached chicken and aromatic oily rice that’s flavourful enough to be eaten on its own, is perhaps Singapore’s most iconic dish, and there’s no better place to get it than at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice in Maxwell Food Centre. Don’t come too hungry though, as it often boasts a queue stretching all the way out of the hawker centre along a covered walkway. But exercise some patience, and you’ll be duly rewarded with tender chicken draped in velvety, plump skin." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Tucked in the popular Maxwell Food Centre just a stone’s throw from Chinatown, this Bib Gourmand favourite is popular with locals and tourists alike and draws lunchtime queues of 30 minutes to an hour. The payoff is fragrant rice cooked in copious amounts of chicken fat and stock, accompanied by a generous portion of silky, tender chicken drizzled with a delicious, flavourful sauce; don’t miss the chilli that packs a tremendous punch. Must-order: chicken rice. Price: from SG$5." - Alethea Tan
"The house dish features poached chicken with rice cooked in chicken stock and served with a thick soya sauce, making it a signature, must-try example of Hainanese chicken rice at a busy hawker stall." - Dan Q. Dao
