My ex-colleague (Mr. Frederick Tan) and friend had eaten at this coffeeshop, which locates at the basement of the Golden Mile Tower many times. Business is so good until they had taken over most of the basement and corridors and I guess they are the loyal customers. Most of my friends told me that this humble store started at Middle Road about 50 years ago and moved to Golden Mile Tower about 30 years ago. Again this place is passing on generations to generations such as grandfather to father, t
My ex-colleague (Mr. Frederick Tan) and friend had eaten at this coffeeshop, which locates at the basement of the Golden Mile Tower many times. Business is so good until they had taken over most of the basement and corridors and I guess they are the loyal customers. Most of my friends told me that this humble store started at Middle Road about 50 years ago and moved to Golden Mile Tower about 30 years ago. Again this place is passing on generations to generations such as grandfather to father, then son......Big plus point, the place is air-conditioned.
The ordinary steamboat comes in sets, so Mr. Frederick Tan chose the seafood set amounting $42.00 for 3 person because he is a Buddhist and the beef option will be definitely out from his menu. We did not want cockles because it is not good to eat at night.
They put a standard plate of food on our table which contains stuff like pork liver, fish balls, fish maw, sotong, sliced pork, sliced fish, squid, sea cucumber, etc. They also gave three raw eggs and vegetables. The soup base was chicken stock. Everything's amazingly fresh, sweet and succulent.
Chicken oily rice is served in lieu of white rice. I love the chicken rice chilli sauce because the chilli is really awesome. I hope that all Singaporeans and Singapore Permanent Residents can vote for this well-loved Hainanese restaurant as the best chicken rice chilli in Singapore with a dash of dark soy sauce.
Other than those things, the soup here is pretty good. It taste very home-made or just like mother's traditional chicken soup.
Although the portions are not huge, I had a wonderful dinner until my stomach really cannot be fed by other junks.
Conclusion: It's so wonderful to have all these food together at one round table and affordable prices. Since Thien Kee offers Hainanese chicken rice, so you can order chicken with your steamboat or even have the rice as well as the chicken.
