Lien Ying Chow Unsung Hawker Hero • Legendary Mandarin Chatterbox Chicken Rice • International Launch of Singapore Hawker Culture

In the world of Singapore chicken rice, Swee Kee is at the level of mythology with no equal in its aura - though Swee Kee closed in 1997, its presence and influence are still felt today in the signboards of emulators from Singapore, to Malaysia and even Taiwan as well as in the minds of its multi-generational fans.

If Swee Kee is credited for popularising chicken rice in Singapore and regional countries, Mandarin Hotel's Chatterbox Chicken Rice is the one that put the humble chicken rice dish on the world map.
