Our Complete set meal for the day! The split down cost.
Rice : S$0.70 x 2
Plate of chicken : S$8.00
The plate of chicken looks rather normal even the taste. I guess it was over rated. Somehow, I felt disappointed. The stark difference of Tian Tian's plate of chicken may falls on the gravy that was used over the it. Gravy was moderately thick and gluey with little sweetness. Overall, I find that it has nothing much to rave about. It was quite tasteless and the meat was too soft. There was absolutely no kick in the bite.
Soup was tasty but alot of MSG had been added.
Rice was too soft for a chicken rice.
ServiceQuite uncomfortable with the marketing of chicken rice when I order portion for 2 pax, they had countered offer for half chicken at S$12.00 initially and then S$10.00 after being rejected. I was kind of surprise pricing is rather flexible based on their "season". We told them repeatedly that we could not finish half a chicken and in the end got the usual portion at S$8.00.
Disposables forks and spoons were used. As some of the chicken has been cut in big chunks, we have to cut into smaller pieces and the utensils were just not strong enough.
Ambience
Competitors are going strong as well. There were total of 4 chicken rice stalls in the middle stretch of maxwell food centre including tian tian. No doubt that Tian Tian's is famous, I heard that others like the one in blue plates are doing well too.
Price
Overated. There are better standards out there with matching prices.
Recommendations / Tips
Some customers were asking for additional soup but the lady had rejected her.
