Wee Nam Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice & Seafood Restaurant

Posted by Foodie Galore | Labels: Chicken Rice, Novena

So our foody galore team went in search of good chicken rice this time round!!
And this is what we found!!

Situated opposite Novena Church and within walking distance from Novena MRT, Wee Nam Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice is always crowded with people during dinner time, a great place for Chicken Rice & ZiChar with very positive reviews, we decided to stop by for a meal and this is what we found!!

We decided for this visit, we wanted to try Singaporeans all time favourite - Chicken rice.
We ordered a mixture of roasted and steam chicken only.

Roasted and Steam chicken

The roasted chicken was not rice but instead very tender and most of its moisture was still kept in, thus it was juicy! For the steam chicken, the chicken skin was really smooth and glossy. The meat was well cooked and juicy.

The soup was flavourful and the rice was fragrant.

Chicken rice

However, both the chicken and the rice are a quite oily. The best part of chicken rice is the chili sauce. The chili sauce was spicy enough, however i feel that it can be a little spicier and added lime juice in it will do the trick to making it better!! =) The next condiment to go with chicken rice is the ginger sauce. The ginger sauce however is way nicer than the chili sauce. The ginger sauce is not like the normal that we find at the rest of the chicken rice stores, this however is not watery and its filled with the fragrance of ginger and its a bit like a paste. Despite being so fragrant, its taste is also not overpowering, and it goes well with the chili and the rice.

The atmosphere however is more like a hawker centre, quite a warm place, as it is situated just along the road, and that its staff are not very young, thus explains the slightly slower service provided when its crowded. Trying their best to speak in English most of the time, the aunty at the cashier always wear a smile and answer to all the queries that customers have.

It may be a little bit pricy for the price of the meal for some. The meal that we had in the picture above plus 2 drinks cost $11. Wee Nam Kee not only serve chicken rice, but also other dishes and they even do takeaways, delivery service and buffet, but with extra cost applying to it.
