BOON TONG KEE PIK

Good news for you chicken rice lover: Boon Tong Kee is opened at Pantai Indah Kapuk! Yes, that famous Boon Tong Kee from Singapore is finally serving their well-known recipe to us. So excited to try this one, let's see how good it is!


Place was nice, located in the row of Legend of Noodle/Native Coffee shop near Pantai Indah Kapuk hospital. It was suitable for family dinner, and I tried it with my #JKTfoodies family.

I did not take any picture of the hainan rice, but they shaped it into pyramid on the plate. It was soo soo fragrant yet I could imagine the goodness of the taste. It was rich and tasty, too bad the portion was quite small.



BOON TONG KEE'S SIGNATURE ROASTED CHICKEN - HALF 105K/WHOLE 198K
I put high expectation on this. I found it quite dry and did not juicy. Taste was okay, seasoned just fine. Skin was crispy enough, but still, I was hoping better than this. But the portion was generous and perfect for sharing!



BOON TONG KEE'S SIGNATURE BOILED CHICKEN -  HALF 105K/WHOLE 198K
I preferred the boiled chicken, because it was juicier than the roasted one. It was tender, seasoned well, and big in portion. I recommend you guys to try this one!


TOFU CLAYPOT SEAFOOD - 98.5K
Heart warming bowl. Everything on the plate was tasty, perfect for your rainy season. Too bad they were using Chinese tofu instead of Japanese tofu, because I found it rare to use Chinese tofu and somehow I did not like the consistency of it. The Japanese one would give smooth silky tofu and better taste, I guess.


SQUID RINGS WITH MAYONNAISE - 70K
Crunchy squid, well seasoned. It was just okay. Served with mayonnaise, it could one of those comfort foods everyone gonna love, right?


SWEET AND SOUR PORK - 125K
Pork was tender, crunchy on the skin. They supposed to be sweet and sour, but I did not find any sour taste on it. It felt like they were using honey for the sauce, and it was kinda too sweet, even for me. 


CRISPY CEREAL DORY FISH - 125K
Did not see this coming, but this one was one of my favorite here! Generous cuts of crunchy dory fish, well seasoned cereal, very enjoyable!


Overall it was quite okay. The highlighted one was the hainan rice itself. The other dishes was just okay. Portion-wise, the chinese restaurant was suitable for sharing.
Good luck for your opening!
