Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice

Open Now

Now Closed

Ordered the chicken rice set ($5) the rice was delicious. The chicken was the breast area hence it was a bit dry. We came here because Tian Tian was closed and there was a massive queue here so decide to give a go.

Located just a few stalls down from Tian Tian chicken rice is their biggest competitor created from a spat between the original owner. The queue for Tian Tian on a sunday afternoon at 12pm had easily 50 people in line, Ah Tai on the other hand, only had maybe 5-10 people.Sadly though the lady in front of me ordered 18 boxes of chicken rice which resulted in a bottleneck.Watching them prepare 18 boxes of chicken rice let me see first hand how much work went into preparing the chicken rice. As you

Maxwell Food Centre has plenty of chicken rice stalls so you are spoilt for choice. We tried the Ah-Tai Hainanese chicken rice (1 whole chicken) plus a few other dishes. Okay, the main star of the dish, the chicken - it's not bad but not as smooth as I expect it to be. The sauce is lacking in flavour which doesn't help because such chicken are usually quite bland so a good sauce is essential to let it soak up the flavour. I'm fussy about my chicken rice, so the texture & flavour was only so-so f

A rare Saturday got me at Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice Stall at Maxwell market! I love chicken rice especially when their meat is super tender. A good chicken should be tender else its booooooo~Having said that, Ah Tai chicken rice never fails me. The chicken really delicious and tender. It is juicy too. However, the rice was a little too dry for my preference. it would definitely be a great idea to hop by Maxwell in the weekends for an affordable meal too. The vegetable namely 'chye sim' and

It is my first time i joined Open Rice for food tasting at maxwell hawker centre. The stall name is called Ah Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice! Well, im sure that food lovers definitely heard of Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, Ah Tai is similar too. From what I seen from their news articles in Ah Tai stall, I read that the chef is previously from Tian Tian. So lets move on! Estelle had kindly "chop" tables for food tasting. It took quite awhile for Ah Tai stall to prepare the food for us though. Ah

I was invited by Openrice to have a food tasting session at Maxwell Road Foodcourt. There were a lot of stalls with selling different kinds of food at there. Ah Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice was the one we going to try out. Look at the three different sauces for Chicken rice, it really improve customers’ appetite. Especially the chilli sauce, it was the secret recepi from the boss.The fragrance of the chicken rice was strong; even I can smell it from far away. Indeed fantastic butter rice, not over

I love the homemade chill they have that goes so well with the chicken and also the ginger sauce (a must when eating chicken rice!) Love the chicken because it's so smooth and also juicy! Feels like having one right now It was my first time eating chicken feet and it taste so good! What's more it's good for the skin so ladies,

I am being treated a wide spread of food of this stall at the famed Maxwell Market by Open Rice. The grains of rice are robust in consistency. The chili sauce packed a punch and not overwhelmed by vinegar. The steamed chicken is deboned and chopped into huge and juicy pieces. Love the way the baby bak choi and bean sprouts are been prepared here, cooked just nice, not too raw unlike most places are.

It was a great and first experience of mine participate in this type of event. I am a lover of food and i have ate some of my virgin food like chicken feet which taste real good and also help in collagen. It was a whole piece of chicken and it was nice but maybe abit oily. The bean sprout was really sweet and nice. The vegetable was acceptable.The bean sprout just cost $2 and it is must try.The chicken feet is also a must try food. It is really taste like jelly.The chicken was too much for us bu

Thanks to OpenRice, a few OpenRicers and I were given the chance to have a taste of this delicious chicken rice stall located at Maxwell Food Centre, a popular haven that houses many famous and highly raved local food stalls.There were only ten of us splitted into 2 tables, yet the owner was really generous in serving us a whole chicken for each table along with many side dishes such as chicken gizzard, chicken feet, beansprout and boy choy. The full table of aromatic food really entices ones ta

I have heard so much about this chicken rice stall. I made an effort to come by just to try it. A basic plate of chicken rice is at $3. The serving of chicken was rather generous with crunchy cucumber. The rice was flavourful and fragrant as well as fluffy and grainy. The chicken tasted decent. It was tender with its juiciness still intact. Their chilli has a nice hint of spiciness that complemented the rice and chicken rather well. I felt their standard is in comparison to their competitor just

Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice 阿仔海南鸡饭 is a chicken rice stall set up by Mr Wong Liang Tai, more commonly known as Ah Tai. Ah Tai was actually the former chef of the famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice and has been working there for the past 20 years.

After several incidents and heated arguments, Ah Tai was sacked in October 2011 (Both Ah Tai and the owners are relatives). Subsequently, he and a

This stall is a rival stall of the famous tian tian chicken rice at maxwell food centre. Actually to be honest, i wanted to try tian tian chicken rice but the queue is too long and i only have 1 hour for my lunch. So in order not to waste time i just went over to ah tai to order my plate of chicken rice as there is only 2 person in the queue. The uncle at the stall was very friendly and nice, when i told him i wanted roast chicken he told me that they do not sell roast chicken and there is only
