Michelin Bib Gourmand Hainanese boneless chicken rice at Tiong Bahru Market since 1988.
Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice has been serving its signature dish at Tiong Bahru Market since 1988, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition that affirms its enduring quality. The stall specialises in silky, boneless Hainanese-style chicken, poached to perfection and served over fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth with pandan and ginger. The accompanying chilli sauce, pounded fresh with ginger and garlic, provides the requisite heat and tang that elevates each mouthful. What sets this stall apart is the consistency it has maintained over more than three decades, drawing both long-time Tiong Bahru residents and food enthusiasts from across the island. The portion of chicken is generous, the meat tender and flavourful, and the rice aromatic without being overly oily. As one of the few chicken rice stalls in Singapore to hold a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice stands as a benchmark for this beloved national dish.Based on 144 Google reviews

The long queue at the stall immediately caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint.
Ang Wei Liang
Incredible value for money — a standard plate of chicken rice comes with chunky, thick slices of moist steamed or roasted chicken with fluffy, fragrant rice. Garnished with cucumber and preserved vegetables, these add a refreshing and tangy…
Toh Soon Huat
$3.80 for a small plate. Okay for me.\n\nChicken itself is cold but tender without much seasoning. Rice is a bit 'saucy' with some added soup after cooking. Soup has pickled cabbage + dou ya + chicken bone taste.
Shankar Ravi
Worth the long queue. The rice is fragrant and the chicken is so tender and smooth it literally melts in your mouth. Much better than other "famous" stalls like Tian Tian.
Rahmat Ali
Incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned boneless chicken and rice with the requisite chilli sauce and ginger sauce. Mouth-wateringly good. Until the pandemic, this stall consistently received Michelin recognition. There was a long line but it moved quickly. Well worth the not-too-long wait.
