Our take: Makan Boleh appears to be a reliable spot for a quick, affordable meal, particularly for those in the NUS area seeking halal options.
We see consistent praise for their Chicken Rice Set, which at $6, includes soup, vegetables, and half a braised egg.
Reviewers highlight the tender chicken, flavourful rice, and quality soup.
The Fish Soup Noodles ($6-$7) also get a nod for generous portions and tasty fried fish chunks, especially the 'All-In' version.
However, opinions on the chicken rice vary, with some finding it average compared to other local options.
We also note a recurring complaint about a misleading 'Express Chicken Rice Queue' sign, which seems to be a single queue for all orders.
Be mindful of potential ceiling leaks if you're seated at the side tables.
Overall, it's a solid choice for a budget-friendly lunch, but manage expectations for the chicken rice if you're a connoisseur.
