The Chicken Rice Shop is a restaurant chain that offers Hainanese-style chicken rice in southern Johor, including Johor Bahru, Pontian and Kulai — the nearest outlet to Singapore is located in JB City Square Shopping Centre. The restaurant chain is known for its generous portions of food, including its signature chicken rice which uses a recipe passed down through generations. Other than steamed chicken, there are roasted, soy sauce and honey barbecued chickens too.

The Single Combo Meal with Roasted Chicken is a chicken rice set with soup and dipping sauces of ginger and sour-spicy chilli. The rice is mildly flavoured with yellowish turmeric. The Roasted Chicken has nice roasty aroma, tender, savoury and pretty meaty. The dish is really nice.

The Chicken Rice Shop: Single Combo Set with Roasted Chicken

Aside from roasted chicken to go with single combo meals, Steamed Chicken and Prime Honey BBQ Chicken can also be opted for — or with Soy Sauce Chicken too. The Hainanese-style Steamed Chicken, soft and tender with smooth skin, is added with savoury soy sauce and fried shallot to enhance flavours. The Prime Honey BBQ Chicken is nicely barbecued with crispy skin, firmer meat texture and mild-sweet from its reddish sauce. They are delicious too and pretty hearty when paired with rice.
