Sin Kee is a household name when it comes to chicken rice. The business was started in 1971 by the elder Mr. Leong. After he passed on, the second-generation siblings decided to carry on the Sin Kee Chicken Rice legacy. Mr. Leong’s son, Benson, opened a stall at Holland, while Benson’s brother, Niven, recently opened a stall at Kampung Ubi, right in Ubi DMQ Eating House.

The menu is quite straightforward. For one pax, the chicken rice costs $4.50. For set meals, it costs $14 (for 2 pax), $24 (3 pax) or $36 (4 pax).

One thing that never changes is their persistence in using good quality ingredients. They only use fresh chicken which is tender. The chicken is chopped into large chunks, and they try to keep the meat on the bone to retain as much of its natural flavour as possible.

The chicken was served with subtly aromatic rice that was not too greasy and loose. I wished that it was more flavourful, but my husband loved it because it was light and not too oily. The chicken stock was used to cook the rice, hence you won’t get a soup here to pair with your chicken rice. But if you are in luck, you probably can order their Chicken Feet with Peanut Soup on the side.

We discovered something new during our visit, and that is to sprinkle some crunchy pork lard and dark soy sauce on the mildly fragrant rice. Now guys, just give in to your guilty pleasures and slowly savour this ultimate bowl of chicken rice.

Side dishes such as Fried Dace with Bittergourd, Scrambled with Fish Sauce, Steamed Fish with Tofu, are subject to availability.

I wasn’t very impressed with their “normal” chilli sauce honestly, till Niven brought out their special blended spicy chilli sauce which he only serves to his loyal customers. It was spicy and tangy enough and had a good texture. It was so addictive that I pair it with every mouthful of my rice. You may try asking him for it during your next visit.

Niven is also famous for his homemade fresh ginger chilli sauce. It is not exactly similar to the Hong Kong style ginger scallion sauce because this ginger dip has none of the watery base. It is, instead, intense and dry — good enough to enhance the flavours of the meat.
