The chicken is not as good as tian tian but the owners are friendly
Ryan Chew
Chicken rice with added $2 breast meat. The meat is tender and not too soft…it’s to my liking. Chilli is power and the owners are nice and friendly. One of the better chicken rice here.

Friendly elderly couple selling chicken rice with decent portion! Value for money! Rice is very fragrant and chicken is tender… chili is amazing but be careful that it can be spicy for some!
