Our take: Katong Mei Wei Chicken Rice is a well-regarded spot, particularly for its poached white chicken, which many find tender and flavourful.

The rice itself is noted for being fragrant and less oily than typical, though one reviewer found it sticky and ordinary.

A consistent highlight is the achar, often described as substantial and distinctive, and the generous portions of soup, such as the cabbage or lotus root, which are often praised for their natural sweetness and inclusion of boiled chicken.

While the price point is frequently mentioned as being higher than average for chicken rice, with a basic plate starting at $7.70, many reviewers feel the quality and generous sides, like the achar and soup, justify the cost.

The chilli sauce receives mixed reviews, with some finding it superior and others noting it's on the milder side or too salty.

Service from the 'uncle and aunty' running the stall is consistently highlighted as warm, friendly, and efficient.

We'd recommend this for a satisfying meal where quality sides are as important as the chicken itself, but be prepared for a slightly higher price tag.

Avoid peak hours to minimise wait times.

The chicken rice has a yellowish hue, with a ginger aroma and fragrant flavor. However, I don’t consider it to be made from "quality rice"; it’s sticky and has a fairly ordinary taste. We ordered half…
