Weekend lunch at Sing Swee Kee
It felt like a gentle return to comforting, old-school Hainanese flavours—simple, polished, and deeply satisfying.
Ordered the Steamed Chicken with Rice, Hainanese chap chye, Hainanese pork chop, and a house-made chilled Luo Han Guo drink.
Steamed Chicken Rice
The steamed chicken was exceptionally tender—silky, juicy, and naturally sweet, with a clean, unmistakable chicken flavour. The skin had that perfect gelatinous finish, rich yet never greasy. A timeless option for anyone who appreciates lighter, more refined tastes.
Chicken Rice
The rice was fragrant and fluffy, with just the right amount of richness. It paired beautifully with the steamed chicken, especially when lifted by the chilli sauce and ginger sauce—balanced and comforting.
Hainanese Chap Chye
A warm, homely dish done with care. The black fungus and fried pork skins added a pleasant crunch, while the vegetables were cooked to a soft, flavour-soaked tenderness. Lightly seasoned but far from bland—elevated by lard cracklings that gave it depth and a satisfying finish.
Hainanese Pork Chop
Crisp on the outside with tender meat within, served with a nostalgic sweet-savoury sauce that hit all the right notes. It went surprisingly well with chicken rice, adding a richer contrast to the meal.
Cold Luo Han Guo Drink
Cooling, soothing, and thoughtfully restrained in sweetness—an easy, refreshing way to round off the meal.
A comforting, lighter-leaning spread that still felt complete and indulgent in its own understated way—ideal for lovers of traditional Hainanese fare - Rating: 4/5
Went to Sing Swee Kee for lunch and ordered a few dishes as below.
1) Roast Chicken Rice
The roast chicken was flavourful with a light smoky aroma. Skin had a slight crispness while the meat remained juicy and well-seasoned. Paired well with the chilli and dark sauce, making it a satisfying and hearty plate. Rice was fragrant and fluffy without being overly oily. It complemented the roast chicken nicely and soaked up the sauce well.
2) Hainanese Chap Chye
A comforting, homestyle dish. Vegetables were well-braised and soft, with a mild savoury gravy that wasn’t too salty. A good balance to the meats.
3) Hainanese Pork Chop
Tender and lightly fried, with a classic Hainanese-style sweet and savoury sauce. Not greasy and very enjoyable with rice.
4) Iced Barley Drink
Refreshing and lightly sweetened, great for cutting through the richness of the meal.
5) Overall
A well-balanced and filling meal with comforting flavours. Ideal if you enjoy roast chicken and classic Hainanese dishes.
The dishes were very flavourful! It was worth the trip :)
Chicken rice that offers something different. Really enjoyed the pork chop and the chap chye.
The chicken chop is a great contrasting dish to be paired with their signature chicken. Well seasoned rice and chap chye

Satisfying portion of tender chicken meat over flavourful rice.
Definitely worth the queue.
Highly recommended.
The chicken rice is ok, but certainly not among the best we’ve had - not even in the top 10 in Singapore. The rice is not very fragrant. Confirms the fact that Michelin is not qualified to judge Asian food.
Dinner at Sing Swee Kee was great! Chicken rice was flavourful and had the right texture. It also pairs really well with the chilli. Definitely will come back!
Classic, fuss-free chicken rice that hits the spot. I get both poached and roasted chicken, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil, plus a light chicken broth on the side. The meat is tender and juicy and the rice pairs perfectly with the garlic chilli and dark soy sauce. Simple, comforting and exactly what I’d expect from a good old-school chicken rice plate.

Good chicken but stingy af. I finished in 3 minutes.
Tried to hide from the morning cold (because brrr 🥶)… but my folk had other plans and dragged me out to run errands today. 😅
Thankfully, I ended up being rewarded with a hearty plate of thick, chunky and tender brisket braised in savoury gravy, paired with springy noodles, soft radish and slippery jelly tendons that totally made my day! ❤️

Can you believe the last time I ate this they're stilled called Carona? It's been decades. Somemore not easy with the queues and timings. I wolfed it down. It's simply a very fragrant plate of chicken rice with delicious fried chicken.
