Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Boon Tong Kee's Bukit Timah branch still draws customers for its Signature Chicken, which many reviewers praise for its tenderness and flavour.
The accompanying fragrant rice also receives positive mentions.
However, we note a recurring theme of declining standards, particularly concerning the overall chicken rice experience.
Several diners express disappointment with the quality of the chili and the absence of hot soup, which are considered essential components of a complete chicken rice meal.
The presentation of dishes has also been criticised, and some find the chicken less tender than it used to be.
While the fried tofu seems to maintain its quality, the focus on promoting tze char dishes over their core chicken rice offering is a point of contention for some long-time patrons.
Service quality also appears inconsistent, with some interactions leaving customers dissatisfied.
We'd recommend a visit for the Signature Chicken itself, but manage expectations regarding the full chicken rice accompaniment and overall dining experience.
It's a reliable option if you're in the area, but perhaps not a destination meal for chicken rice purists.

What customers say
Boon Tong Kee's signature poached chicken remains a highlight for many, praised for its tenderness and flavor, especially when paired with the fragrant rice.
However, recent sentiment indicates a decline in overall standards, with customers noting subpar side dishes, disappointing chili and soup accompaniments, and inconsistent chicken tenderness.
Service quality and staff training also receive criticism, though the fried tofu is consistently well-regarded.
