Overview

Alright, let me take you on a little food journey to Hougang Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice, or as the locals affectionately call it, Yi Qi Fa. Located right at 809 Hougang Central, this hawker gem has captured the hearts of many, as evidenced by its impressive 4.3 rating from 86 reviews.

Now, let’s be real. The queue can be a bit of a hassle, especially during lunch hours. People seem to flock there like moths to a flame, and honestly, I’m not entirely sure why. Most say the chicken is juicy and tender, with that nostalgic Hainanese taste. The rice? Oh, it’s said to be fragrant—some even describe it as ‘fragrant with a hint of pandan aroma.’

When I visited, I opted for the roasted chicken rice. Honestly, there was a moment of disbelief when I saw the portion. It felt a tad on the small side, considering the buzz surrounding the place. However, the chicken was moist, and the free-flow soup? A comforting touch that made the meal feel homey.

Chili lovers, brace yourselves! Their chili packs a punch. Some might even say it needs a little more oomph, but hey, isn’t that part of the fun?

Seating’s limited, and if you’re planning to dine in, best go on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd. They don’t accept reservations, so it’s a first-come-first-served kind of deal. Plus, it’s kid-friendly, which is a huge plus.

In the end, Yi Qi Fa might just be what your taste buds crave. Pop by if you’re in the area—who knows, you might just discover your new favorite chicken rice spot!
