$5 for a plate of chicken rice . Flavoursome rice-make sure you taste it first unadulterated. Chicken is tender n succulent. Sauce is spicy , perhaps a bit overwhelming,takes away from that awesome rice

Liu

Very nice! Ordering separately tasted much better. We had half mixed chicken , rice and bean spout. Will definitely come again!

Torzin S

Really good chicken rice , the chicken meat is juicy, the rice is fragrance, the gravy source is flavorful with chicken stock , the dipping is full with garlic and chilli . A combination of good things!!

Sawit K.

$5 is this. Rice is very delicious, al dente and fragrance. Chicken is very tender. Sauce is soy based with small hint of garlic . Sauce well round spicy , sourness and garlic . Yummy!!! ????

This is IMO the best chicken rice you can find in Singapore. The chicken is very tender (and juicy) coupled with tasty sauce. Their rice is a BOMB....very fragrant . Side dishes are also good.

Sawit K.

Make sure to be here early to avoid crazy queuing, 11:00am is good. Order and Pay on the right, Pick up on the left. Queuing is going around to the back of hawker.

Ting

Famous thus long queue and very popular with tourists . Luckily it lives up to its reputation. The rice here is the highlight. Not too greasy and very fragrant . $12 for half a chicken or $24 for whole.

Steve

As featured by Anthony Bourdain , the hainanese chicken rice is great. Is there better? Probably. Is there cheaper? Yes. But is there anything bad about this one? No.

Johnny Wang

(3/5) Hawker stall serving up chilled Hainan chicken with bone and skin intact. Both the chicken and rice have good texture and flavor (more so the latter), but neither are particularly memorable.

Z

The chicken was cooked to the right tenderness. It's not bad, a good introduction to SG's chicken rice scene to foreigners. But well , for locals, there are surely nicer and cheaper options out there.

George Oetomo

Of course chicken rice one of the best in Singapore lah!! Come early, 10.30 am to avoid the long queue. I only queue 3 people in front of me.

Chris Lee

The difference of $5 (extra few pieces of meat) and $3 portion of chicken rice . If you do not mention that you want $3, automatically the lady boss will served you the $5. Take note ????

Evan Chen

This is probably one of the best Hainanese Chicken Rice I had, no frills. It’s cash only and there’s always a queue.

Steven Wakuu

Ordering Tip: Comes in 3 sizes - small, medium and large. Small is rice & chicken & sauce all on one plate. If you want the chicken and sauce separate from the rice , order the medium or large!

Sikander Lhote

While the tender steamed chicken featured in the dish is certainly delectable, this establishment’s chicken rice is most famous for its fragrant rice and complex, spicy chilli sauce

Merlina Kasman

Of course the chicken rice lah.. ???? and the gizzard . One of the best indeed..

Silas Cheung

The best and authentic hainanese chicken ever! Their "black & white" (fried skin & plain) chicken is a must try!

Chris Lee

$5 for this plate of hainanese chicken rice . Gizzard is $3. Chicken is smooth, rice is very fragrant as per Anthony Bourdain commented.. Be prepare to queue for 20-30min.

Cheen The Curious

Side order of braised egg . It’s not listed on their menu but they offer whole eggs braised in soy sauce

高手놀리밑™

One of the best chicken rice in Singapore . The meat is so good. Brush up on your mandarin when ordering (singlish also can lah)

Terence O

One of the best places for chicken rice in Singapore and this stall's version has beaten Gordon Ramsay's version of chicken rice in the SingTel Hawker Heroes contest.

Rafa Larrañaga

Nice plate of chicken . The place is very crowded but the line is really fast. Is good but nothing to die for, I had better meals on the other Chinatown complex food center.

Melon L

I could eat this every day. I want to bathe in the sauce and dive into a vat of the rice . This is divine.

Chris Liew

The chicken rice itself is delicious but not uncommon but what makes it deserve all its good reputation is the chicken . Really tender and flavoursome????

Sawit K.

Half chicken $12 rice $1.6 (0.8each). Yummy chicken , especially fragrance rice , so good

R U S S

Queue's always long so you need to be extra patient – food's great & definitely worth the wait.

Wen Wong

Arrive before 11:30. Ask for breast meat and off the bone if you hate bones like me. And ask for dark soy sauce on the side!

H K

No other stall has a queue. Bourdain has done it. Perhaps indication it is one the best? I enjoyed medium sized Hainan chicken rice ;)

M. Silver Associates

Chicken rice : Chicken is steamed or boiled until it is just cooked & still a little bit pink near the bone. It's served with oily rice that's made with chicken broth & slices of cucumber on the side.

Yohanes Antonio

Recommended! Best hainanese chicken rice i've ever eat in Singapore! ????

Travel + Leisure

Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice There is always a line outside this popular stand at Maxwell Road , but it’s worth the wait.

National Geographic Traveller (UK)

...Her favourite is served at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice , in the Maxwell Food Centre. “But go early,” Pamela adds. “Sometimes you have to wait for two hours.”... Read more

Jonathan Lim

One of the best chicken rice in Singapore !

Marcel B

Nice tender chicken , worth the wait. The crowd moves fast, waiting time was circa 20 mins.

juicy jelly

the line for ordering and paying are different, make sure you stand in the right line http://food.juicyjelly.net/2014/01/bites-tian-tian-hainanese-chicken.html

Evon Mew????

Long queue but worth to try it. The Chili sauce is spicy not recommend for those who can't take spicy

Helen Zhang

Honestly probably my least favorite of the 3-4 chicken rices I've tried in Singapore (the others were random walk ins)

Jack

Extremely good chicken rice costing S$5. Sometimes queues gets quite big, but they serve people very fast so that isn't a problem.

Keith Tan

In my top 5 chicken rice in singapore list. Plus Anthony Bourdain says it's awesome too.

R U S S

The birthplace of Chicken Rice in SG. It's worth the wait.Ü

Kris Concepcion

Obviously go for the chicken rice , but be prepared for a wait. The market its in is also not the cleanest.

Mira S

Never say no to this super delicious chicken rice , especially the chicken is the best

Ofir Weinstock

Tender and with just the right amount of sauce. Might have a long but goes rather quickly

Johnny Lee

A national dish and where better than at Tian Tian Chicken Rice . It’s open-air, non-air condtioned, so be prepared.

Kit&kafoodle

Still really good chicken rice . Prices going up slowly over the years, but the queues still tell the truth.

Willi#m Li

Uncle Louis Famous Chicken Rice on the adjacent side is 100 times better. You have no idea what you are missing.

Gregory K.

Chicken rice ????????????. Featured on Anthony Bourdain I believe

Cheen The Curious

Anthony Bourdain ate here

Tomek Wolny

Famous chicken rice , chilli sauce includes lime , but the chicken is the star, gelatinous skin. Yum.

Charles Ryan Teo
