Boon Tong Kee Little Gourmet, River Valley Road

what's "ong kee little goup"?

Interesting name for a shop that's famed for chicken rice. I happened onto this shop while searching for some past midnight grub. The prices didn't look cheap. However I had thought that the quality ought to be quite good based on branding. We hoped. Having eaten at Boon Tong Kee at Bt Timah only once before, I wasn't sure of how this place would work out. The previous experience was quite good so I had little reason to expect otherwise. I guess even franchised brand outlets must possess a certain level of quality to thrive.



If I had compare, it was a tough fight between My Rice and BTK. Both stores were quite on par in terms of flavour. While neither matches Ming Kee in terms of price, the former two accounted for their worth with more tender chicken meat and what I thought to be a zestier chilli sauce. The poached vegetables in oyster sauce here had fresh crunchy texture and was topped with fried shallots and some meat floss.
