Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice (新记)

Posted by SP on Aug 06, 2008 6:22PM
Went to this place to have dinner yesterday. When we arrived, we couldn't find the stall as we thought it was on the first floor..but it wasn't. It is located at the second floor of the hawker centre.

From afar, we saw a very long queue but we never thought it would be sold out that fast..so we took our own sweet time.Then suddenly we heard someone saying "finish liao..no more liao..". My fren immediately went and ask one of the uncle,the uncle said "no more liao" :(

So we ordered other stuffs, and while waiting for our food, I saw some new comers managed to get the chicken rice..so I decided to go ask.. another nice uncle :P told me just queue and try ur luck..and fortunately....this uncle said..there were some left, so I just ordered the steamed chicken ($8).

The chicken was very tender , very very nice. It is not those very dry type, as it comes with some gravy..It was very delicious!!!! too bad I didnt get to try the rice...will make it a point to try it next time. Another thing to remember is to try the chili dip...
I would say it is the best chili paste (for chicken rice ) I have ever eaten..hehe :D

    hmm..no wonder the last time I went, I tot the chicken tasted a bit different. So any idea what is uncle Ah Tong's plan? Start his own stall?

    It is very sad that the uncle Ah Tong who had been preparing the succulent chicken all these years have just left his job owing to
    ill treatment from the boss. The uncle happen to be a very old friend of mine. Now the boss is trying to cook the chicken himself. So if you
    find that the chicken tastes different from the last time, at least you
    know why.

    At the other corner of the hawker centre is a stall selling hot&sour soup, guotie, steam dumplings, shanghai niangao, horfun. It's really good.

    Maybe their chicken "move" so fast that they dun have the chance to hang them... hahaaha

    I notice that, but I thought cos we were there late, so most of the chicken already sold out.

    Sin Kee no doubt serves the best chicken around; if you take notice they don't hang their chicken; probably why it tastes so good? Nevertheless, the rice is not as good (which is a turn off for me, a rice person)

    The chicken here is quite tender. A bit more gravy might be nicer I think. Never got a chance to try out the rice though, but the chilli is quite nice and spicy.

    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

    CyberTron commented..
    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. ;-)
