Not to be puzzled with Advantage Tong Kee, Tong Kee Hen Rice 東記 at the brand-new Margaret Drive Hawker Centre is one that is attracting a lengthy line.
This is not a brand-new delay however, having actually been around 1969.
Back in the good-old-days, there are a variety of renowned Hen Rice delays at the old Margaret Drive Hawker Centre, though possibly just Transgression Kee Famous Cantonese Hen Rice as well as Tong Kee continues to be.
( I bear in mind caring this food centre for its Popiah, You Tiao as well as Guo Connection– Tong Xin Ju Unique Shanghai Tim Amount can currently be located at Maxwell.)
Formerly likewise included in “Our Makan Places Lost & & Found”, Tong Kee presently helmed by Mr Tan Kian Meng (the dish is from his daddy) conformed from Tanglin Stop Food Centre.
The delay specialises in Roast Hen Rice ($ 4, $5, $6), though clients can likewise locate a periodic Poached Hen, together with Char Siew as well as Crispy Roast Pork Tummy Sio Bak
Nonetheless, I would certainly suggest you to find throughout off-peak hr prior to lunch time as the delay can obtain actually long. (While I was the 5th in line, it used up to 15– 20 mins to obtain my order.)
Aside from the numerous takeaways, this is likewise potentially because of the narrower as well as little delay arrangement as well as the hawkers can be observed still attempting to obtain a hang of the brand-new area.
The hawkers begin the prep work wee hrs in the early morning, permitting the fowl to marinaded for a variety of hrs to ensure that it would certainly soak up the flavours of the sauces much better.
You would certainly observe that the roast hen has a glossier skin than the common.
While the hen is not the fantastically crunchy type, I liked exactly how it can keep some juiciness as well as the succulence (some Roast Hen can obtain actually completely dry.)
My preferred component was the mix of cosy flavorful hen rice matched with the yummy chilli sauce with a kick.
The hawkers still utilize still a conventional technique of preparing the rice (as opposed to in a little rice stove) in a big pot, as well as the grains require to be continuously mixed to ensure that they would certainly have a springier appearance.
The chilli sauce with an obvious garlic fragrance as well as dark sauce are likewise house-made.
I likewise got a Roast Pork Rice though the rice made use of appeared to be various, as well as the Hen Rice was possibly extra flavorful of both.
Tong Kee Hen Rice’s charm is component fond memories as well as traditional preference, as well as partially due to the fact that it is a Roast Hen Rice delay that still utilizes standard techniques as well as internal sauces for the food preparation.
