The first time I had my first swee kee chicken rice when I was still a little boy. At that time, it was located at along middle road if not wrong, and I did not know it was that famous. It was my mum who brought me there for lunch while she went to a nearby shop to buy her baking stuff.
In recent years, seems to read about this Swee Kee on blogs and media. I believe I tried once called Sin Swee Kee or something awhile back, and wasn't really that impressed actually. So that day, while I was nearby, I noticed this Old Swee Kee, decided to pop by here to try out since I was a little hungry.
Similar to Sin Kee chicken rice at Margaret Drive food centre, the chicken are placed on trays instead of being hung together. Ordered a chicken drumstick rice. The drumstick was a bit on the dry side, not the tender kind that I prefer. Rice was ok, while the chilli was not too bad.
Overall, not very impressed with the chicken rice at this place actually. I rather go to those few chicken rice stalls at Albert Street temporary food centre instead.

My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out!
Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers.
Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

This is located opposite the Yishun sports hall.... at the cross junction there... if you take mrt, during the durian seasons, u might notice people waiting there... is been 2 years since I been there, not sure if it is still around.

Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.
