Rong Ji Chicken Rice (Dunman Food Centre)

On a cold and rainy day, nothing beats a piping hot bowl of porridge.

This stall in Joo Chiat area has been around for ages. Their porridge is silky soft, load of ingredients and their boneless chicken is literally one of the best in Singapore. Auntie cooks the porridge orders one by one. If you ask to add an egg, she will mix in the egg white while the porridge is cooking and pour the broth into the bowl containing the egg yolk. See my video. Somehow the porridge is more silky and you have a nice soft chew from the egg white. Pork porridge, chicken porridge, fish porridge…they are all good.

The chicken is so tender and Uncle takes the trouble to debone every piece. Drizzled in soya sauce and sesame oil, the fragrance is incredible. Chilli is also quite nice but not the star of the show. I added chicken liver and chicken heart. Both were equally good, the former firm and creamy to chew on, the latter crunchy. Not funky taste at all.

The queue is long in weekends and moves very slowly. I waited 45 mins for my order but it was worth it. Parking is also very limited.

They open very early in the morning and usually sold by by noon time. The queue and waiting time can be long as the stall is managed by 2 old couple.

For only $3, you get a decent plate of chicken rice. They only offered the Hainanese style, which is very tender and simple.

The Chicken Porridge was served piping hot in a large bowl and smelled heavenly.

The 1st thing that we loved here was their chicken porridge. Awesome consistency and delicious flavours in that beautiful colour of the porridge. Perfect for the cool weather where it would feel so comforting slowly enjoying each spoonful of the porridge.
And of cos their chicken was the other star. Smooth, tender and good on its own, with rice or together with the porridge.

Rong Ji Chicken Rice - but my usual crave is their porridge. You gotten catch them before they get sold out for the day. Latest closing time might be at 2pm! Located at 247 Joo Chiat Place.

Overtaken the one at Katong Shopping Centre.

Blown away by the aromatic fragrance of the rice and grains were light, soft and fluffy with a glistening white finish. Chicken tender soft. Smooth gelatonous skin that screamed collagen! Quite an old school taste, a timeless taste. Near perfect. Except that it was missing cucumber and soup.
