We didn’t really enjoy the steamed chicken here in comparison to other places - it was the only place that didn’t remove the red colored bone which was hard to separate with the provided plastic forks. Other stalls didn‘t serve with bone and some provide metal cutlery.

We arrived about 11am & just as well as before we knew it the Maxwell Food Centre was buzzing & tables were hard to source. …

It was outstanding and my first time there having Hainanese Chicken Rice - make sure to get the triple option, you'll know when you are there and also the sauces on the side. Plus, Uncle Louis and staff were so friendly, I will go back next time in SG!
Gwendolene Haw
The chicken is succulent. Tried this because I didn't want to queue for Tian Tian (super long queue). And it was really good!! The soup is lotus peanut today. The whole set costs $7. 😊 …
