House of Chicken Rice @ Tg Pagar Plaza

House of Chicken Rice
Address: Blk 1 #02-07 Tanjong Pagar Plaza.
Opening hours: 10.30am to 4pm daily.
Price: From $2.50 per plate.




This chicken rice stall, which had been recommended to me by friends staying in the area, is tucked away in a corner, on the second floor of Tanjong Pagar Plaza. It is not visible from the main street, and it took me quite a while to locate it.


It is unbelievable to see a food shop opening at such close proximity to the hawker centre just a bridge away as people will quite easily give it a miss, but this shop has managed to hold its own and through word of mouth, long queues and packed tables are now a common sight during lunch hours.



I ordered my favourite chicken hind, which is tender but comes at the normal price of $2.50.





The steamed chicken meat that was served was slippery and very tasty. Good stuff. The rice was also fragrant and the soup for the day is salted preserved vegetables.

It was indeed a good meal, and justifies the popularity of this new kid on the block.
