This stall is located at the Rong Liang Ge 荣亮阁 kopitiam (Blk 269B Queen's Street, opposite Iluma Shopping Mall). It is popular for its charsiew, roasted pork, roasted duck and double-boiled soup.
I ordered the charsiew with roasted pork rice, at only $2.50. Cheap! Dark brown and black sauces were added to the charsiew and roasted pork. The combination was flavourful and not too sweet. The charsiew was tender and the roasted pork skin was crispy. The sweet sambal chilli made the food more delicious.
Not the best in town, but perhaps one of the cheapest around.

Old Swee Kee 老瑞记 is located at the beginning of Seah Street, opposite Raffles Hotel. I was quite surprised to see a beef noodles stall inside, since Old Swee Kee is famous for its hainanese chicken rice. I saw some old wall posters of the old blanco court beef noodles stall. I wonder if there is any connection.
Anyhow, I ordered a bowl of dry beef noodles. There were sliced salted vegetables and grounded peanuts toppings. The noodles were well cooked and not too soggy. The gravy was not too thick and salty. With the aroma of sesame oil, the noodles and gravy mixture was tasty. The beef slices were tender and when dipped with the sambal belacan chilli plus cencalok (fermented tiny shrimp sauce)....so delicious! The soup was good too.

This stall at Plaza Singapura Kopitiam (level 5, stall 10) always has a long queue. I can understand why. The food is good and value for money. I ordered the grilled chicken set meal (ayam panggang) at $4.80, which comprised of plain rice (with added curry gravy), grilled chicken with black sweet sauce, fried egg and soup. I added extra stir-fried vegetables (cabbage and carrots) at 80 cents.
The chicken thigh with skin was really delicious, tender and juicy. The black sweet sauce was flavourful and went well with the chicken. The fried egg, vegetables and rice were eaten with the superb sambal chilli (with ikan bilis)....really yummy. Highly recommended.

Sing Ho 星和 is located at 266 Middle Road. I ordered a one-person set meal which comprised of a plate of chicken rice, white chicken meat and soup. Plus an extra bowl of chicken rice, chicken liver/gizzards and a cup of cold barley drink.
The chicken rice was tasty and not too oily. But it was not as fragrant as the chicken rice from Boon Tong Kee (Balestier Road outlet), Loy Kee (Balestier Road outlet), Pow Sing (Serangoon Gardens) and Tian Tian (Maxwell Food Centre). The chicken meat and liver/gizzards were tender and flavourful. They went very well with the chilli/ginger and black soya sauce.
