✍️10 Nov 2024. Seng Kee Chicken Rice at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah is likely the oldest chicken rice place in Johor Bahru. It's over thirty years in the business now.
I've been coming here since 2012, returning occasionally. The place was always well kept and well run.
I noticed that a younger generation is in the kitchen now but the founder is still around.
I just ordered this RM7 serving to keep my blog about Seng Kee Chicken Rice up to date.
The cut I got didn't have any of the jelly fat I like but the meat was tender, moist, and had that subtle chicky sweet taste and smell I appreciate. It felt comforting and pleasing in the understated old school way.
The serving came dressed with a slightly savoury brown sauce.
The lightly grease coated rice was tender (not soft) with a slight savouriness wrapping the subtly sweet grains. It was likeable.
The chili sauce was great as it was freshly made and pulpy. However, I didn't see any ginger sauce at the table.
The zesty fresh chili sauce worked well with both rice and chicken.
The clear chicken soup was just that, chicken bone boiled in water and scented by a sprinkle of aromatic chopped scallion before serving. For soup, that's all I need or want to go with my chicken rice.
I would be back with a group to try more such as their glass chicken feet salad.

✍ 17 Feb 2012. Chicken rice stalls are fairly common in Johor Bahru though it is not nearly as ubiquitous as in Singapore. Seng Kee in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah has been in business for over 20 years and is well known among locals as well as with people from out of state.
During my visit, I opted for Seng Kee's roast fried chicken since I can cook a pretty decent white poached chicken myself at home ;P
The breast meat is naturally sweet and slightly firm. It requires a little more jaw action than the tender, soft variety. This texture and style seemed to be enjoyed in Malaysia judging by the crowd at Seng Kee. (The chicken meat at the famous Malacca chicken rice ball shop near Jonker street is even firmer - its chicken actually feels stringy and it is a great crowd puller.)
Be sure to order a plate of Seng Kee's chewy chicken feet skin in savoury and tangy light Thai style salad sauce. Crunchy, fresh and fragrant. Delicious.
The taugeh (bean sprouts) is fresh and crunchy though it is colourless and not my favourite stubby, plump and juicy kind.
I like Seng Kee's rice best. Each good grade long grain rice feels firm and distinct. There is just enough oil to impart aroma to the rice. It is not oily - unlike that heavy oily film commonly found in chicken rice elsewhere.
This blended fresh ginger, thick and smooth, not too spicy makes a superb dip for the chicken, feet and rice.
Shall try out their white poached chicken next time to appreciate what is pulling in the crowds at Seng Kee.
->> Certainly one of the better chicken stalls that I have eaten in, in Singapore or in Malaysia.
