Quite disappointed with the chicken rice here. The chicken was tough and not fresh, and the rice lacked fragrance. Overall, it felt rushed. There are much better options around.

A Solid Halal Chicken Rice Option, But with Room for Improvement
It’s rare to find good halal chicken rice, and Edmond's certainly stands out as one of the better options I’ve tried. However, it does fall short of the high standards set by other Hainanese chicken rice stalls. If you plan to visit, be sure to arrive early to avoid the long queues and the possibility of them running out of chicken.
The set is great value, offering generous portions of vegetables, rice, and chicken. The roasted chicken is juicy and flavorful, the vegetables are well-seasoned, and the soup even comes with two wanton dumplings—a nice touch. Unfortunately, the rice was overcooked, which was disappointing given the quality of the rice brand used. It also lacked the rich flavor typically associated with this dish.
Overall, while there’s room for improvement, Edmond's offers a satisfying meal for those seeking halal chicken rice.

No Ah Tai or WNK level chicken rice of course but definitely cuts above others despite being halal.
No Ah Tai or WNK level chicken rice, of course, but it's definitely a cut above others despite being halal.
Can't say it's worth the wait in line, but if there isn't a queue, it's a good grab, in my opinion.
The price is fairly decent for what it is. I got the drum rice with extra chicken and rice for $7.50.
Ordering was easy and no mistakes were made, unlike at Amoy where ordering is as difficult as changing a diaper.
Recommend: yes
Will eat again: yes (when there isn't a queue of more than 5 people)

Probably one of the few halal chicken rice stalls that does this style exceptionally well.
The rice was soft and of whole-grained quality, mildly flavored with very little oiliness.
The steamed chicken was slightly dry and served bone-in. The sauce, which had a great balance of umami, elevated the dish.
The roasted chicken was surprisingly the winner of the two. Very tender and well-flavored, it was also much more tender than the steamed version.
The vegetables with oyster sauce was another recommended dish. Even though it was pre-cooked and cold, it had a great texture and flavors.
The chili is pedas (spicy) for those who like a punch. Mixed with the dark soy sauce, it was excellent with the various dishes.
The soup had depth and was unlike most, which are just chicken stock.

I came on a Friday and it was sold out by 3pm. I came back on Tuesday at 11am and finally got to try it. Probably one of the best chicken rice on my list! Extra chicken and add-on chicken gizzard, totaling $7.50, was worth it!!

They serve really good steamed chicken rice and noodles for a halal stall. Their rice is especially fragrant and better than most stalls out there! Their noodles are very springy as well.

The rice was fluffy. While it's not the most aromatic chicken rice I've tried, it was still good. The chicken was soft and tender. The staff were also very friendly.

Be prepared to queue. Delicious halal chicken rice stall around the area. They have white and roasted chicken. The owner is very patient and polite. I thought the chicken portion was rather generous. I will visit again.
