Feng Sheng Kampong Chicken Rice & Steamboat is a Chinese restaurant on East Coast Road in Bedok, open around the clock and holding a 4.8 Google rating.
Kampong chicken rice stands or falls on the bird: free-range kampong chickens have firmer, leaner, more flavourful flesh than the usual broiler, and a good cook poaches them so the skin turns out silky rather than slimy. The rice matters just as much, ideally cooked in chicken stock and fat until each grain is fragrant on its own, alongside a chilli-ginger sauce to cut the richness. Steamboat is the communal half of the tradition: a pot of broth at the centre of the table, ingredients added bit by bit, best taken slowly and late.
Its kitchen runs 24 hours on a stretch of East Coast Road with no shortage of places to eat, giving Bedok night owls somewhere to go when a late chicken rice or steamboat craving strikes.
