Boon Tong Kiat Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice

Boon Tong Kiat Singapore Chicken Rice is situated at soi 12/14, right opposite Villa Market at Thong Lor soi 15. From the name itself you can already guess what are their signature dishes.

We were glad that at last our cravings for Singapore chicken rice can be easily satisfied by going to this restaurant but we were yet to know how the services and food is before we could make any judgments.

As we stepped into the restaurant one evening, we noticed that it was really a typical Singaporean-Malaysian restaurant for the tables and chairs, the simplicity and basic diner's needs can be met once he/she is settled for ordering. In other words, before you even enter the place, you could see a place where roast pork, chicken and ducks are prepared right in front of the restaurant and inside you could see only a few simple squarish dining table and chairs, red floating chillies and grinned ginger condiments in jar bottles (I miss ginger condiments!) plus what tops it all as deco is the many food posters pasted all throughout the walls.








We expected some standard for it has the "Singapore" label where lions are carved in gold. To our surprise or not so much since we've seen lots back home was that the waitress were poorly dressed while taking orders, you know...shabby t-shirts, worn off jeans and rubber flip-flops (selipar jepun tuan tuan dan puan puan!). Well, we thought oh heck, as long as the food is good.

And we were right! The food was really good despite the slow service in between which I don't want to elaborate further. Let's take a peak on the food we ordered...

Steamed kaley in oyster sauce

Steamed chicken which comes with chicken rice and soup

Here's the seaweed soup that comes with any chicken/pork/duck rice

Fried wanton noodles in chinese style

Fried chicken noodles

Big portion at 110B so as the fried wanton noodles

A big mug of herbal drink at 25B

Besides its signature dishes, they also serve Sino-Singaporean food such as the famous rojak. As I mentioned earlier, the food outweigh the service. Prices are quite reasonable too. A whole boiled chicken is 360B and a roast duck cost 400B.
