Our take: Hainanese Chicken Rice at Jalan Tua Kong consistently earns high praise for its tender, juicy chicken and flavourful rice.
Reviewers frequently highlight the generous portions and the quality of the boiled chicken, noting the 'jelly' between skin and meat as a sign of proper preparation.
The chili is described as 'punchy' with a ginger-garlic kick, and the inclusion of green onion and ginger sauce is a welcome addition.
While some older reviews mention a slight reduction in portion size under new ownership, the overall consensus remains positive regarding taste and value.
The stall also offers curry chicken noodles, though the chicken rice is the clear standout.
We think this is a strong contender for best chicken rice in the Tanglin Halt/Commonwealth area, offering a rare combination of quality and fair pricing.
Worth a visit if you're in the vicinity and appreciate a well-executed classic.
