After immigrating to Singapore in the 1970s, he spent years perfecting his recipe before opening his first stall in Toa Payoh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What started as a small hawker stall has grown into one of Singapore&#8217;s most beloved chicken rice destinations. Our secret lies in the careful selection of ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and our family&#8217;s homemade chili sauce recipe that has been passed down through three generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Ming Kee is run by the third generation of the Tan family, who continue to uphold the same standards of quality and authenticity that made us famous. We&#8217;re proud to serve both locals and tourists who seek an authentic taste of Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recognition &amp; Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"906\" src=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-300x265.webp 300w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-768x679.webp 768w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-600x531.webp 600w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953.webp 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Michelin Guide 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured in the Michelin Guide Singapore for exceptional value and quality<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"906\" src=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-300x265.webp 300w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-768x679.webp 768w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-600x531.webp 600w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953.webp 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Michelin Guide 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured in the Michelin Guide Singapore for exceptional value and quality<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"906\" src=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-1024x906.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-300x265.webp 300w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-768x679.webp 768w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953-600x531.webp 600w, https:\/\/mingkeechickenrice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/04DC13E6-1EA0-4D24-A7FC-AFC5705CD953.webp 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Michelin Guide 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured in the Michelin Guide Singapore for exceptional value and quality<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Story Ming Kee Chicken Rice was founded in 1985 by Mr. Tan Ming Kee, who learned the art of Hainanese chicken rice from his father in Hainan, China.
