Jew Kit Hainanese Chicken Rice!
First visit to Jew Kit Hainanese Chicken Rice on Killiney Road: the Valentine's set for 2 ($22++) with steamed chicken, fragrant rice and ngoh hiang. One of the nicer chicken rice around.
First-time visit to Jew Kit Hainanese Chicken Rice at Killiney Road! 😋
Hainanese chicken rice is Singapore’s unofficial national dish, and Jew Kit is one of the established names doing the classic sit-down version, poached chicken, fragrant rice, and the all-important chilli. We came for a special-occasion set rather than the usual plate.
The old-school-look menu:
Ordered the Valentine’s set for 2 pax sharing ($22++), the date-night spread.
The Hainanese chicken, poached gently so the meat stays tender and the skin sets into that signature slippery, gelatinous layer:
Ngoh hiang, the five-spice fried meat rolls, the set’s fried side:
The chicken rice, the real test, cooked in chicken stock with garlic, ginger and pandan so each grain is fragrant and oily:
The overall spread:
The chicken was tender and the rice properly fragrant, the two things a chicken rice has to get right. Not bad at all, one of the nicer Hainanese chicken rice around, and we would revisit to try their zi char dishes too.
