Tong Kee Chicken Rice (東記雞飯), Margaret Drive Hawker Centre

Tong Kee Chicken Rice (東記雞飯), Margaret Drive Hawker Centre

Tong Kee Chicken Rice has relocated from their previous premise at Tanglin Halt to the new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre (#01-36, 38A Margaret Drive). I guess it's their coming to the full circle, at least for location, since they started off at the old Margaret Drive Hawker Centre originally. Notice that they have poached chicken these days.

Queue was pretty long, was in line for about 25 minutes or so.

I was curious about the poached chicken since they've never had it. Not bad, pretty tender but it's not the poached chicken standards that Sin Kee has. The dark meat portions were tender and slurp off the bone tender but the breast meat while respectably moist wasn't as impressive.

We ordered a portion of roast pork. These guys don't do the rendition with crunchy skin and melty fat layers. These are hardier and more chewy. Best to be eaten with the brown sauce that they serve with their eggs.

A light cabbage soup which accompanies each order that is better than many.

Guess it was good enough that I got a second bowl of rice.
