Finally went to try 1 of the very old eating places that you seldom find in Singapore anymore, and they are supposed to be famous for their chicken rice. Their rice is different from other chicken rice places as it is more to the bland side, without the usual oil+chicken broth+ginger combination, and looks like it is cooked with water and fried shallots and maybe some light spices. Chicken here is served cool, but the breast meat isn't as tough as i expected, and meat is firm to the bite. But nothing very special. The steamboat was pretty average too, but pretty cheap. Total bill for 1 portion of rice+1 portion of breast meat+1 seafood platter+1 beef platter+1 plate of cabbage only comes up to $22.60 (i think). Enough to feed 2 small-to-normal eaters.
A gentle note: as with most of the olden eating places, do not expect any smiley service from the old staff here. Just enjoy your food and don't cause too much inconvenience.
