Our take: Shi Mei Hainanese Chicken Rice is a strong contender in the West, particularly lauded for its roasted chicken.
Reviewers consistently praise the chicken's tenderness and flavour, with some noting it achieves the texture of poached chicken while retaining the umami of roasted.
The rice is described as fragrant and well-seasoned, complementing the main dish.
While the white chicken receives mixed reviews, the roasted option appears to be the crowd favourite.
The inclusion of bean sprouts (taugay) and a peppery soup adds to the meal experience, though these are dine-in only.
We note that affordability is a recurring theme, with a meal for two costing around $14.
The main drawback is the significant wait times during peak hours, especially weekday lunch and weekends.
We'd recommend visiting during off-peak periods to avoid the queues.
This is a reliable spot for a satisfying chicken rice meal, especially if you're in the Bukit Batok area.

The rice is fragrant. The white chicken, maybe can find better ones. As for the sesame chicken, not bad, it would be better with the sauce.
