Uncle manning the store has an extremely bad attitude. Extremely poor service. Be prepared to be scolded if you patronise the stall. Will never ever buy from the store.

This Is Unfortunately One Of The Most Underrated Stalls In Kallang Old Airport Hawker Centre Which Should Be Given More Recognition. ( #01-105 ) The Stall Is Manned By A Very Friendly Couple, ( We Have Now Come To Know Them Well, As Mr & Mrs Ho ) They Consistently Produce One Of The Best Chicken Rice I Have Tasted. We Drive All The Way There Every Monday, Just So We Can Have Our Weekly Fix ( Though There Are Many Chicken Rice Stalls In The Vicinity Where We Live - I Live 5 Minutes From East Coast Road ) And Have Never Been Disappointed. The Standard Is Always Consistently Good. The Chicken Is Moist, Succulent & Tasty, While The Rice Is Cooked To An Even Consistency, Richly Soaked In The Chicken Broth. Even My Godma Who Has A Very Discerning Palate & Is Not Easy To Please ( Unless Food Has The Authentic Taste Of Old ) Always Looks Forward To Our Meals There. If You Like Chicken Feet, Ask For A Bowl Of Chicken Feet Soup, The Lady Boss Is Happy To Oblige.

I’m pleased with the quality of the chicken rice I had today. For $3.50 it is justified. Yes, I will be a returning customer!
