It’s totally different from what’s served at many roast hen stalls the place the pores and skin of the hen is normally easy and doesn’t ship the crunch. I positively love Tong Kee’s model extra as a result of the meat nonetheless retains its juiciness and it’s a scrumptious dish to have. It ticks all of the bins — completely roasted hen that’s bathed in a plate of soy sauce, fluffy seasoned rice, and a compulsory bowl of soup.

The aromatic rice was cooked with hen oil and many aromatics like ginger and shallots. We appreciated that the rice was not overly oily, but aromatic. The hen parts have been beneficiant. The chilli was additionally potent — spicy and gave kick.

Make sure you pair the dish with their signature braising sauce. It had a stunning steadiness of candy and savoury notes. What’s attention-grabbing was the sunshine smoky flavour which you can’t discover at different hen rice stalls. It’s no marvel I see many diners requesting for extra gravy to pair with their rice.
