Our take: Liao Fan Hawker Chan in Chinatown is best known for its Michelin-starred Soya Sauce Chicken Rice, a dish that consistently receives praise for its tender, flavourful chicken and glossy skin.
Many reviewers highlight the 'al dente' noodles as a good alternative to rice, which some find a bit dry on its own.
The Char Siew and roast meat also get mentions for being soft and melt-in-your-mouth.
While the chicken is generally well-regarded, some feedback suggests the rice lacks fragrance and the noodles could have more depth of flavour.
The seating can be cramped, but service is typically fast.
We think it's worth trying for the historical significance of its Michelin star and the budget-friendly price point (under 10 SGD for a meal).
However, temper expectations for a transcendent experience; it's a reliable, good hawker meal rather than an 'amazing' one.
Best for a quick, affordable meal if you're in the Chinatown area.

Liao Fan Hawker Chan in Chinatown is widely praised for its Michelin-starred Soya Sauce Chicken, which customers describe as juicy, succulent, tender, and flavorful with glossy skin.
While the chicken and char siew are highly rated, some find the rice and noodles lack fragrance or depth of flavor.
The restaurant offers a good value Michelin experience, though seating can be cramped and some feel the food, while good, isn't "amazing" enough for a return visit.

Good roasted chicken rice, but it wasn't amazing. While the chicken was tender, the rice itself wasn't very fragrant, and the noodles didn't have great depth of flavor. Service was fast. Prices were v…
