What’s going on with chicken rice in Singapore? All bones, no meat

A concerned member of the public took to social media to ask what was happening to food prices after receiving a chicken rice meal consisting of mostly bones.

“What is this Lee Kwang Kee (in) Clementi?” asked a Facebook group Complaint Singapore member on Friday (Nov 4).

He attached a photo of a chicken rice order from the stall, noting it was “full of bones and no meat.”

The customer added that the meal was a mess upon opening as well.

“What’s going on with chicken rice in Singapore,” asked the original poster.

Netizens agreed that the portion received was shocking.

Some thought that there was a mistake on the merchant’s side.

“Maybe it’s not meant for you? Could have mistakenly taken a pack meant for someone else tabao for their pet. Looks really all bones,” noted Facebook user Constance Corn Chan.

Others piped in, saying that stray dogs eat better than what the customer received. They, too, would find that the meal was really meatless, said netizens.

Customers shared their experiences on recent food orders, highlighting business ethics that need altering.

“Now is all about money, money, money, and money. My purchase of either wan tun noodles and chicken rice have very thin, thin slices of char siew, sioh bak, or chicken with bones too. It is brought daylight robbery in an unjustified portion treating human beings. They will have to pay their debts when the time come,” said Facebook user Colin Biswas.

One Frankie Tan said, “Now cannot eat chicken rice anymore, everywhere the same. Price goes up, portion goes down.”

The Independent Singapore has reached out to the stall for a statement and will update the article accordingly. /TISG
