Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Boon Tong Kee is that it remains a reliable choice for traditional Hainanese chicken rice, particularly at its Kallang outlet.

Reviewers consistently praise the steamed chicken for its tenderness and smooth texture, often noting it's mostly deboned.

The accompanying rice is frequently described as fragrant, though some find it merely 'okay.' Beyond the chicken rice, the fried homemade beancurd stands out as a popular side, lauded for its crispy exterior and silky interior.

Other zhi char dishes like coffee pork ribs also receive positive mentions.

However, we note some concerns regarding value.

While the food quality is generally high, some patrons feel that prices have increased over time without a corresponding increase in portion sizes.

Service is typically described as 'normal' rather than exceptional.

We think Boon Tong Kee is best for those seeking a classic chicken rice experience, but it might not be the place for an extensive zhi char feast if budget is a primary concern.

Stick to the signature chicken and beancurd for the most satisfying experience.

What customers say

Boon Tong Kee is highly regarded for its signature steamed chicken, consistently praised for being tender, succulent, and mostly deboned, accompanied by fragrant rice.

While the chicken rice is a standout, other zhi char dishes like the fried homemade beancurd and steamed fish head with fermented bean also receive positive mentions.

However, some customers note that side dishes can be inconsistent and perceive menu prices as high for the portion sizes, which have not increased over time.

The steam chicken and fragrant rice is very good. Side dishes is not as good. Just go for the stream chicken and rice, surely satisfactory. Must add another bowl of rice.
