The Story

Four Decades of Gastronomy

Preserving the Perfection of Singapore’s National Culinary Icon

Founded by master artisan Mr. Tan Kok Leong, Heritage Chicken Rice House has served generations of discerning Singaporeans. Tucked away in the beautiful shophouses of Tanjong Pagar, our dining space celebrates simple heritage ingredients perfected via relentless, master-level culinary discipline.

"The perfect chicken rice is not created by shortcuts. It's the precision of temperature, the freshness of local aromatics, and the legacy of slow craft." — Mr. Tan Kok Leong, Founder

Every single day begins at 4:00 AM, when our dedicated team meticulously hand-selects organic corn-fed chicken and prepares the custom mortar-ground ginger and garlic paste. We slow-brew our rich chicken broth over hours, capturing the golden oil to cook our premium long-grain rice to fragrant perfection.

Mr. Tan Kok Leong has dedicated 40 years to crafting chicken rice. His master preparation technique ensures each slice of chicken is juicy, succulent, and accompanied by the perfect layer of skin-gelatine.
