This is definitely not the first or last time I am going to write about Katong Mei Wei chicken rice.

Located in a corner of the basement of Katong Shopping Centre, Mei Wei attracts foodies from all over Singapore for their chicken rice. This is one of my favourite Hainanese chicken rice because the poached chicken is always consistently good and the soy sauce drizzled over it is very savoury and perfect with rice. The chilli packs a good amount of heat and garlic and I love that they come with achar and boiled soups.

Yes, it's a little pricey but that's because you get a real complete meal with the achar and soups on the side. The soups are real proper boiler soups and I really love their cabbage chicken feet soup or winter melon pork rib soups. You do get chunks of pork ribs and chicken feet in the soup - these guys are definitely not playing around with their soups.

Mei Wei has since been taken over by their 2nd G owner. He has cut down on queueing and waiting time by instituting a proper queue system and collection system. The only downside is that the achar and soups no longer appear to be free flow and they are a lot stinger with their condiments which you can no longer help yourself to!
