“ If you're on the hunt for affordable yet mouthwateringly delicious Hainanese chicken rice in KK, look no further. The steamed chicken is remarkably tender, practically falling off the bone, while the roasted chicken provides a delightful alternative for those seeking a different flavor. The the chilli and garlic sauce is the best here to go perfectly with the chicken. With the option to add Blanched Bean Sprouts or Blanched Taiwan Pak Choy according to your liking. ”

- Evan Mojuntin -

“ Undeniable 1 of the best chicken rice in kk. Their chili sauce is so good. The only cons is the portion of both rice and chicken are really little. ”

- K Y -

“ Ho Kee is my pick for the healthiest and heartiest chicken rice in town. Though some may disagree on its authenticity, the final product of this modest joint is appreciable. The knowledgeable waitresses openly oblige to customers' request for specific chicken cuts. Arrive early, presumably before 12.30 pm before drumstick and thigh cuts have been sold out for the day. All is not lost as the breast cut served is moist and relatively tender. Choices of their oily (yellow) rice or steamed white rice can be had. Even better, their ginger and chili sauces are rich, flavourful and fresh. Their drinks, such as barley and herbal teas, are delicately made too. Gym-goers and exercise addicts rejoice, the meals here hit your macros with their nutritious and wholesome style of preparation (their 100g serving of chicken breast paired with white rice, for instance). Upon completing the meal, the body will feel light and pleasant. For veggies, their blanched sawi or bean sprout is a steal. It is not unusual to hear requests for white rice and even 'less sauce or oil' to be poured over the chicken. Diners here are mostly from the working crowd, with some families thrown in between. In summary, I am willing to go out of the way to Ho Kee for the healthiest and 'feel-good' guilt-free chicken rice in town. ”
