Located in Kim San Leng hawker center near Junction 8, Ming Kee Chicken Rice never fails to attract large crowds during meal times. One doesn't need to worry as their service is relatively fast unless there are office workers who are ordering huge takeaways for their colleagues.
Personally, I waited for 10 minutes during lunch at 1.00pm and I would estimate that one would be served from anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes during peak periods.

Ming Kee chicken rice stall serves steamed chicken only and they do it in the different ways most Singaporean hawkers do. One can have the standard chicken rice and chicken, or order half a / full chickens for sharing.

I ordered the standard plate of chicken rice with breast meat and extra rice at $3.30. It is nice to note that they do fulfill one's preferences of chicken parts such as breast meat, thigh meat etc. at no extra charge. Their rice was not oily, while the breast meat was a bit too dry for my taste. However, Ming Kee's chicken rice still stands out from many other chicken rice stalls due to their unique rice texture and flavoring as well as their large sized portion of chicken meat.

Lastly, while many Singaporean hawkers rise and fall with their chili sauce, Ming Kee's chili sauce was not spectacular but good enough for one's meal with the chicken rice. This is definitely one of the must try chicken rice outlets in Singapore.

Ming Kee Chicken Rice & Porridge (Bugis Street) 明记鸡饭粥 is probably the most famous chicken rice located in a heartland coffeeshop. To be more precise, it is located at the coffeeshop directly opposite the Bishan Community Centre, 5 minutes away from Bishan MRT station.

Ming Kee Chicken Rice & Porridge (Bugis Street) 明记鸡饭粥 is probably the most famous chicken rice located in a heartland coffeeshop. To be more precise, it is located at the coffeeshop directly opposite the Bishan Community Centre, 5 minutes away from Bishan MRT station.

You may notice that this is the only chicken rice stall where you are unable to find any chicken being displayed (hanging). The reason is because the chicken once cooked are dunked into tubs filled with ice water. The chicken are kept there till it is ready to be chopped. When the chicken is chopped into halves or quarters, they are kept in trays of ice water which are displayed at the counter till the point they are being used. The process of dunking the chicken into ice water immediately after cooking is called shocking. Shocking is normally done to ensure that the chicken will not be overcooked and firm up the skin.

The shocking process is also used to make Ajitsuke Tamago / Japanese Runny Egg / Ramen Egg.

Does the fork and spoon look unique? Wonder if they are trying to portray an image of kids friendly!

Look at how generous they are with the chicken, gizzard and rice. The chicken was soft, tender, moist and slightly cold. Each piece of chicken was thick and meaty (makes me wonder why other chicken at other chicken outlets seems to be so skinny and thin). The flavour and juices seemed to have been sealed inside (maybe by the shocking process). I found it weird that not all parts had a jelly layer under the skin. The jelly layer normally occurs when shocking is done. Another chicken rice stall with jelly layer under the chicken skin is the Da Po Hainanese Chicken Rice at Golden Mile Food Centre.

The rice was a tad too hard for my liking. Fortunately, it had the fragrant and flavour required of the hallmark of a good chicken rice.

A generous amount of Gizzard was given. In fact, this is probably the most generous amount I have been given for just 50 cents at any chicken rice stalls.

If you were to ask what is the down side of this stall? Well, its their chilli. It was not as spicy and seems diluted.

There is always a long queue at this stall during meal times. During a recent visit, I was quite surprised to see the queue stretching up to than 19 people long (yes, I counted!), and forming a L-shape queue as it extends out of the interior of the coffee shop. In case you are wonder, I joined the queue and waited for half an hour before it was my turn to order.

As I was queuing, I noticed that they cleared the queue relatively fast. There was a total of seven people manning the stall. Very systematic. Two person will be chopping the chicken for customers. Another two person take the order and collect the money. Among these two, one will be scooping the rice or packing the rice as many customers were packing back the food. Another two person were in the stall preparing, cooking, dunking the chicken into the tubs of cold water. Lastly, an elderly lady was sitting in front of the stall, packing the chilli for takeaway and occasionally helping in the stall. Thanks to their efficient operating systems, customers like me do not need to wait too long despite the long queue.*Thumbs up*.

Personally, I think this is probably one of the best chicken rice in Bishan (or should I say within the Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan estates).

I was told one of the nicest chicken rice found here. I tried it but i did not like it. The chicken was too cold to my liking. The chicken meat tasted like icy cold. I was told this is their method in ensuring the best quality of the chicken served. I got to agree on the texture is indeed tender and juicy but i really do not like my chicken served cold. I guess this is my one and the only time here. The rice is fragrant and fluffy though.

Brought a plate of chicken rice for lunch. Firstly, the soup have a very fresh and fragrance chicken bone aroma and has a thin layer of oil. As for the rice, it was also very fragrance, grain by grain, not too sticky nor oily and is well cooked. Finally, the chicken itself is cold as it is dipped into cold water before chopping. It has a soft and tender texture, skin is not oily, taste good with the chicken meat. The good thing is that the chicken meat has very little bones in it. Seasoning sauc

Seasoning sauce is added to the chicken to enhance the flavour of the chicken. The seasoning is not salty, goes well with the rice. The chili sauce is not very spicy and has a watery texture.

Chicken rice is really a staple dish consisting mainly of a staple food in every coffee shop and/or food court. White or roast chicken, chopped and slapped onto a bowl of chicken stock infused rice. Different places do it slightly differently, but more often than not, the taste is pretty standard and tastes pretty good.To me, the rice is the performer of the dish and not so much of the chicken.

I am not quite used to the chicken served here. The chicken parts were taken out from the bucket of ice cubes and water, chopped directly and served. As expected, the chicken tasted very cold though the juiciness and tenderness are undeniably but i do not quite get used to eating such cold chicken. Their chilli is not as spiciy but a hint of sweetness in it. The rice is grainy and fragrant.

Everytime i go to this food centre, there's always a long queue for this chicken rice stall be it lunch or dinner. Today i went early before 12noon, so the queue is quite short and i've decided to give it a try.Well now i know why people always queueing for it! The "bai zhan" chicken is really very smooth and taste good. Comparing to other chicken rice, this is so far the best i've tried! They soup that they provide is a bit sour, but it kinda opens up the appetite. Will definitely recommend to

Will definitely recommend to others but try to avoid peak hours like 12-1pm lunch time or 6-7pm for dinner time.
