Heng Ji Chicken Rice (亨記鸡飯), Chinatown Food Centre

Heng Ji Chicken Rice (亨記鸡飯), Chinatown Food Centre

Finally got to try Heng Ji Chicken Rice (#02-131 Chinatown Complex Market and Food Centre, 335 Smith Street) after hearing about them for so long. It was mentioned somewhere out there that this is the oldest chicken rice stall in the country. And they also turned out to be a queue I understood because they were that good. At least it was for me.

Their poached chicken were slurp off the bone tender - pretty much the epitome of it just like how it was with Sin Kee back when they were at Mei Lin Food Centre. Their light soya sauce concoction also tasted chicken-y. Rendered chicken fat maybe?

I thought the flavour of their rice was mild initially but it somehow developed as I ate, to the point that it reminded me also of those from Sin Kee. Flavourful yet not heavy. I need to come back again.
