The white chicken is really nice fat and juicy. The portion of a whole chicken is really massive with lots of meat and at reasonable price compared to other famous chicken rice stores I been to. Taste is not fantastic but considered pretty decent and well made. The rice is aromatic but abit too wet. Friendly & hardworking old lady boss and staffs. Recommend to come earlier as really a lot of people, from locals, offices people to tourist. Serve huge Tze char menu also. Heard from neighbour table who is regular they like to come here eat fried rice haha. Recommended to come here try and also enjoy the nolstagic vibe.
Remember to bring CASH if you don't have paynow app.

Finally here after missed it due to late arrival to store closing previously. Chicken rice is flavorful and the chicken was pretty good but not memorable. However, we enjoyed the availabilities of other local dishes from the kitchen. We loved our fish fillet soup and our vegetable dish.

My rating 5 as very satisfied

Taste 4/5

Recommendation 4/5.

Delicious chicken rice which I had not eaten for past 10 years.
The restaurant is old school like those independent zhi char
back in the days, big and spacious.

Chicken is tender and just pairs nicely with the soy sauce.
Chilli wasn't too spicy and taste good, ginger was a good mix with the fragrant rice.
Hainan chup cai is totally fantastic. Best I have eaten so far.
Lemon tea was refreshing with lots of lemon.

Have read the other comments about rude service but everyone seems to be polite and friendly.

Will be back to try other dishes.

The first time I came here was because I saw that JJ Lin had eaten here, so I wanted to give it a try. Since then, I’ve actually been back quite a few times.

The chicken rice is pretty good overall. Chicken was tender and the rice is actually one of the better parts for me. I’ve even dabaoed just the rice all the way back to Los Angeles before, and after reheating it still tasted good. One of my top 10 in Singapore.

If i have to improve something it is the chilli. It’s okay, but I feel like it needs a bit more kick cos it lacked the punch I want with my chicken rice.

Still a solid 4/5 and worth trying if you’re around Bugis.

Will return to try other zichar dishes.

It has a very 80/90s charm to it- angry boss upfront, greasy floor, cheap plastic chairs, cheap plastic plates.

The environment is outright noisy- don’t bring your date or your potential business partner. Literally shouting over chili and ginger.

Chicken is good, nice texture and sauce is not too salty. Tofu on hot plate was more cabbage than tofu. Kailan was up to expectations. The pork chop was great with some 70s green peas and soggy potato wedges that has been around also since the 70s.

Anyway the chicken is great, rice was awesome, and soup was hot enough. Cucumber was unconventionally cut not into slices but like weird odd shapes- is fun to be kiaped by chopsticks.

Portions were awesome.

No splitting bill allowed- treat your friends.
