Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant

We found this place was fairly well rated and their pics looked pretty good too, soo we ventured out to give it a go - boy, we were so happy we did!! . The decor isn’t like super insta-flashy or anything but that made it appeal even more to us as a place that just did good food well 👍🏻 . We were surprised they did crabs 🦀 as well so definitely had to give them a go too. We ordered: ~ 2x Singapore Chilli Crabs ~ Whole Hainan Chicken ~ BBQ pork ~ Belachan Kang Kong . Let’s start with the crab. It was amazing! Loads of roe, meaty and the sauce was epic. It was perfect to soak up with the fried mantou (buns). Luckily we got 2 cos we completely demolished them (probably could have done another 2 lolol 😏🤭) . The chicken was good too, most of it was super tender, just a few breast pieces that were a touch on the “well cooked” side but overall tasted great 👍🏻 . The kang kong veggies were super yummy too. Love eating these kinds of veggie dishes in Asian countries cos it’s super inexpensive but very very yummy and full of wokchi 🔥🔥 . A lovely place that we’re glad we tried out and to our surprise had amazing crabs 🦀 as well as the chicken 🐓

As I live fairly nearby, my family and I used to patronised its outlet that was located along Thomson Road. Ever since it shifted to United Square, we have not try. We came this afternoon and there was a Q. We waited in line for about 10 mins and was ushered to our table. We ordered: 1. Chicken for 2pax 2. Mixed Roast pork & Char Siew 3. Prawn roll (small) 4. Sambal Kang Kong 5. Dumpling soup (6 pcs) 6. 1 plain rice 7. 1 chicken rice Total damage: $54.15 Food reviews (subject to personal taste): 1. Normal chicken - doesn't give me the smooth texture or tasted succulent. Cucumber not even whole slices but within the big slice, sliced up even more 2. Roast pork tip didn't have that crunch which was disappointing. Char siew was little chunky sliced up and not much of charred flavour 3. Prawn Roll dish was decent for me 4. Sambal Kang Kong came out extremely salty and had to send back to change another. When returned 2nd time, it was still salty. Staff shared with sambal is such and is salty. We didn't want to comment much as for those who cook, is the amount of sauce/salt that a chef adds. Thus is adjustable. 5. Dumpling soup was decent 7. Chicken rice didn't capture the essence of chicken stock(if they use to cook)

Recommended by son, as I have not heard of this chicken rice before. (I am not a chicken rice fan) And was surprised with the high rating. So we went with high expectations. Rice was fragrance and came quite a small portion. The roasted chicken meat was soft and tender. The sauce was too sweet for my liking. At least there are some dishes that we can order beside eating chicken meat.

Wee Nam Kee is a well known Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant that also serves other Chinese dishes in its menu. However it’s really known more for its authentic and delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chicken is tender, juicy, fragrant and cooked to perfection. The rice is also just right, not too oily and has enough flavor and fragrance. A Chicken drumstick set includes choice of steamed oyster vegetable (Kailan) and/or pork dumplings. I opted for both! The set also comes with either lemon tea or barley (choice of hot or cold). Superb! 4/5!

They got the order wrong. We got the normal chicken breast instead of drumstick. The breast meat was dry. BBQ pork was red and not charred enough However the rice and chili were on the spot for us. Veg cooked perfectly. Can skip the dumplings. If you come in a group, order their other ala cart dishes. Taste good on ours and looks good on tables across
