Uncle Chicken Rice

Many may recognise this stall, renamed from the Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice that was previously at Margaret Drive. Uncle Chicken Rice employs a more Cantonese cooking style that produces a meal we can only describe as subtle – this doesn’t mean the flavours are light but rather perfectly balanced. Take for example their chicken, which is lightly drizzled with a soy-sesame sauce and oozing pure chicken stock to complement the natural sweetness of the meat. You will find yourself slowly savouring each bite with their unique combination of flavours and textures. Another standout is their chilli sauce, a thick concoction that seems to contain dried chilli, and is definitely not for the faint hearted. Their ginger dip, with roughly blended ginger with scallion, is also an uncommon version that packs a real punch.
Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday: 11:30am to 8pm
