Very displeased with their high charges.

At the Bt Timah outlet, they even try to disguise by serving drinks in wine glasses with lots of ice.

Wait till you see their rice serve on plates in TRIANGULAR forms (like Bak Chang).

Where are the traditional bowls and chopsticks ?

Chilli not free flow but serve and think serving dishes. Eat's up with that ?

The rice tastes worst than white plain rice. Not enough chicken stock unlike their standards previously.

At Balestier Branch, wat's up with the table cloth at the Balestier Branch. Makes them look expensive.

Takes many years to build the name and only a bad move to spil it all.

Sad

i still dont understand why the rice come in triangular form..

attitude SG

triangular rice? lol, are they trying to do it jap way, like onigiri? Rolling Eyes

if make it round i still can accept becoz the trad hainanese chicken rice is serve in round balls.....

well, i only ate their chicken rice once, at the outram branch.
so-so lah, dun rem anything really special, even the chilli is not as hot as i expected.

i only rem their fried toufu, served with mayonaise, tat's really yummy!

and, i still prefer chicken rice cooked by my mum, catered to my liking mah Smile

the BTK at East Coast Rd pretty decent, opposite the big church, umm Holy Family i think .....

staff there are friendly and portions generous too

ditzy SG

Read it from a Dilbert book. People remember good food from the amount of the portions. The more generous the better.

Mr. Green the chicken rice along the shophouses opposite Katong Mall is very good. forgot the name. and no. i don't sell chicken rice. i think the rice and chilli are just as important as chicken and i don't mind if their chilli not free flow because i eat a lot of their chilli indeed. chicken rice sellers may not be able to keep up the high prices if bird flu isn't controlled soon.
