Boon Tiong Kee vs Yeo Keng Nam

[Darthrevan]

actually chicken rice is a kind of cannot go wrong kinda food. all over also have, $2 in hawker centres to branded ones to hotel chicken rice. But do you think the branded and hotel ones taste 20X better than the $2 ones? I'd eat the $2 ones anytime.

 

I don't agree with "cannot go wrong"..the same kind of food will taste different in different hands. Its not so much the pricing but the way of preparation.

Yup, I agree with you - the simpler the food, the harder to get it "right"...hahah

 

But then again, taste is very subjective - one of my favourite chicken rice stalls is at Empress Road food centre at Farrer Road...the chicken is very succulent and tender

have not been there for a long time as always cannot find parking space....sad to know that the standard have drop.

 

For BTK, i think standard have drop a lot, and it is also over-priced.

[Vextan]

altho BTK is expensive, we must understand that we are also paying for the service and ambience and settings, i.e. comfort. we cannot compare it to a hawker centre stall la. that is also why the one in mandarin cost $25+ for each serving.

Looks impressive but as a guage, how does it compare with Tian Tian at Maxwell?

[Stooky]

support Yeo Keng Nam!! eaten there several times until all the people knows me.... haha

not easy to find the place though

[Lammy84]

I find Loy kee food way too oily overall. I like the chicken rice stall at whampoa market and the 5 star at east coast road + serangoon garden.

Used to be a huge fan of BTK but the standard really going down.

[Scion]

anyone tried before the chicken rice at Chevron House opposite IBP?

supposed to be a retired sergeant major who specialises in making great chicken rice...

 

been a long time since i last ate it (too far for me now, during lunchtime)

thinking of it makes me drool

[Freestylers09]

hmm okay maybe go try this weekend..

 

btw anyone try Jurong Point Banquet Chicken Rice b4?v nice also..always alot pple

[Speedz76]

last year went to balestier with my parents.. initially want to go boon tong kee (i have not tried BTK although have heard loads abt it)... when i reached the entrance.. saw that they have renovated the shop.. air-con.. table with table cloths.. and staff wearing uniform! my alarm bell start ringing.. i dun wanna kana chop! so make a u-turn and go to eat bakut-teh at the coffeshop beside

 

my fav is Loy Kee beside shaw plaza.. many years ago work in balestier.. almost eat at LK everyday

 

another of my fav chicken rice is the one located at central amk hawker ctr.. the hawker ctr beside the old broadway cinema.. been having it since young and the standard is still as good
