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.

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.

I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

Hi Jamerie,
Thanks for the tip. I've updated the typos in the review.

hi!
The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you.
For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
