One of the better places for Chinese food and non spicy grilled fish
The congee is flavorful enough on its own without further enhancements needed. I added some soy sauce which made it slightly salty.
Apart from the smoked duck and Hainanese chicken, you can also find char siu, siu yuk, roasted chicken, sesame chicken and lemon chicken here.
After giving the mee pok a good tossing, I find the bowl a little dry. It tasted fine actually but I like my noodles saucy so, I scooped some soup in. Unfortunately, that compromised the flavors and I had to add in the soy sauce and chili padi.
Things could turn around if they fry the fried fish and pork balls in small batches to retain the freshness and texture.

Shi Mei Hainanese Chicken Rice Style is indeed standing up from the rest with its bean sprouts and the sauce used. If you are looking for a style away from our conventional chicken rice meal that is ladled with soy and sesame sauce over the chicken meat, you might want to give this a try.
名副其实的排队美食 – 20 minute queue early in the morning for common breakfast fare. The bee hoon was soft and moist; the fish fillet was hot and tasty, crispy outside, tender and sweet inside. I thought the chicken wing and luncheon meat were good but quite standard fare – sufficiently but not outstandingly crispy and tasty. Overall a good fresh plate, with moderate flavours.
This was a very popular chicken rice stall near Gombak MRT Station – a local favourite. The roast chicken was quite tender and fragrant, while the white chicken was less tender and was devoid of skin (again!). The rice was more grainy and 粒粒分明, and had good chicken and garlicky fragrance, going well with the potent chilli. A very serviceable rendition for residents around the area.
This place is definitely good for your wallet, especially if you are looking for affordable and delicious hawker fare for lunch.
