A new fast food joint called Singapore Chicken Rice recently opened it’s first branch in the Araneta Center that serves affordable Singaporean cuisine. Here, one can enjoy his favourite Singaporean dishes at a lower price than what you would normally pay for in other restaurants.
Singapore Chicken Rice’s Chicken Rice is a rice dish that is probably known to many as Hainanese Chicken Rice. It comes served with rice, poached chicken, pickled vegetables, soup and dips. The rice is flavorful and the chicken is very tender.
Also on the menu is another well known favorite– Nasi Lemak. Nasi Lemak, I’ve been told by owner Xian Lim, is typically served in the morning, pretty much the same I guess as sinangag ang tuyo is to us Filipinos. The dish is composed of rice, fried egg, fried dilis, peanuts and sambal that you mix together before eating.
I tried the chow mein called Pancit Chino and to be honest, I don’t think I’ve smelled pancit that smelled like it. It is so aromatic! And it tastes just as good as it smells. The noodles are firm and it is seasoned just right.
Of course we can’t talk Singaporean food without mentioning Laksa. Singapore Chicken rice’s Laksa is a mildly spicy noodle dish in rich curry soup that is made from leaves instead of the usual curry powder.
So just how affordable is affordable? The Chicken Rice is only Php 95.00 and a bowl of laksa is Php75.00. The Pancit Chino is Php 55.00 and the the Nasi Lemak is only Php 35.00! Add in an extra Php 15.00 and you get a tall refreshing glass of cold calamansi juice. Food is cooked by a Singaporean cook as ordered and servings are good for one person.
Singapore Chicken rice also delivers. Delivery is free in selected areas for a minimum order of Php 300.00. The restaurant is open from 7 AM to 10 PM daily.

sooooo braaaang addicting kaya ang chicken rice na yan! we’ve tried everything on the menu and we keep coming back! nice review ry!
Thanks so much for this recommendation! I love Hainanese chicken and this looks really yummy!
finally, something from singapore. i think this is the first in the philippines? because i remember if we were wanting to have something from singapore we have to settle with that kaya-coffee shop in morato. can’t remember the name though
You might want to try their Nasi Goreng as well. It’s not listed in the menu but you can definitely order and it’s pretty good! Sarap with the satay
is the nasi goreng spicy?
Mmm, that looks delicious! I love chicken and rice.
Good food at affordable prices. *thumbs up*
I have eaten Pancit Chino long time ago when I was still studying in Mapua. One of my Chinese classmates invited me for a dinner in their home and they serve this kind of this. I totally agree…taste really good! Many thanks for posting!
I actually lived in Singapore for two years and I miss the chicken rice a lot. Sadly, I don’t go to the Araneta Center in Cubao much but when I do go there, I’ll make sure I drop by.
Nasi Lemak is exactly what I used to have for breakfast. The rice is cooked with coconut milk . You can also add in some chicken or other types of meat and eat it as a more substantial meal.
You’re welcome, Pabz!
