Hidden gem Hainanese chicken rice at Ghim Moh Food Centre
Hidden gem Hainanese chicken rice at Ghim Moh Food Centre
Shen Ji Ji Fan Chicken Rice is a hidden gem tucked away in Ghim Moh Food Centre, beloved by those in the know for its old-school take on Hainanese chicken rice. What sets this stall apart is its ginger-infused rice, which carries a more pronounced, aromatic ginger flavour compared to the more commonly encountered pandan-led versions, giving the dish a warming, homely character. The chicken is tender and smooth, complemented by a chilli sauce and ginger paste that balance heat and pungency in equal measure. Portions are generous and prices modest, embodying the no-frills spirit of a true neighbourhood hawker stall. Regulars appreciate the consistency and the nostalgic quality of the meal, often describing it as the kind of chicken rice that reminds them of simpler times.Operating Hours
