regarding the Katong chicken rice, they used serve the other type of achar (you know the one in the spicy sauce with peanut and sesame toppings). I don't like the current type of achar which just pickled vegetables... i remember the chicken rice to be much better before they revamped the stall. i wasn't impressed by this stall the last time i had it around 2 years ago. anyway, you're spot on about the double mcspicy burger. even Mike Chen said it's the best fried chicken burger in the world.

Sorry to say, you'll likely face a 30 percent increase in price for the same portion, except horrible quality rice. if you dont mind smaller cut of chicken but arguably same quality white chicken at a much cheaper price - Zeng Ji Hainanese boneless chicken Rice. I will agree that Katong chicken rice was THE BEST. probably started to decline about 5 years ago or so.

It is the absolute bomb and sees long queues everyday from cabin crew trainees and cadet pilots….plus it is one of the few places that give legit delicious soups(eg. Winter melon soup etc) instead of the Usualy bland clear soup.
