Maxwell Chicken Rice

Maxwell Chicken Rice operates within the legendary Maxwell Food Centre, home to some of Singapore's most celebrated hawker stalls including the Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. Located at 1 Kadayanallur Street, this hawker centre has become a pilgrimage site for chicken rice enthusiasts, with Maxwell Chicken Rice contributing to the venue's reputation for quality Hainanese chicken rice.

The stall offers a Chicken Rice Set for $4.50 that includes tender chicken, fragrant rice, vegetables, and soup, delivering the complete chicken rice experience at an affordable price point that has characterised Singapore hawker culture for generations. This straightforward pricing and focus on the essentials allows Maxwell Chicken Rice to serve the lunch crowd of CBD workers and tourists exploring the area without the marathon queues that form at some of the centre's more famous competitors.

Maxwell Food Centre's location in Chinatown makes it easily accessible for office workers in the financial district and visitors exploring Singapore's cultural heart. The centre operates from 10am to around 7:30pm daily, with individual stalls keeping their own hours within this window. While Tian Tian draws international attention from having hosted celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay, and Ah Tai benefits from its connection to Tian Tian's former head chef, Maxwell Chicken Rice maintains its own following among those who appreciate quality chicken rice without the fuss or extended wait times.
