What is it? A humble chicken rice stall in Katong Shopping Centre, which serves up the iconic dish on signature purple plates.
Why go? Chicken rice is Singapore’s national dish, and Katong Mei Wei Chicken Rice makes some of the best. The chicken is silky and succulent and the rice is fluffy and fragrant as it should be. You might do a double-take at the $8 price tag, but it’s well worth it because the rice dish comes with a generous serving of achar and soup of the day too.
Don’t miss The cabbage soup, which is light and peppery. There’s no saying what the soup of the day is though, so you’ll have to keep your fingers crossed.
