The story
Nestled in Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, Heng Kee Curry Chicken Bee Hoon is a 50-year-old stall that has earned a devoted following for its singular take on a Singaporean classic. As Mark Wiens observed, the draw is a "unique and incredible" curry chicken bee hoon, featuring tender chicken and chicken feet in a "flavorful, almost medicinal curry" that sets it apart from the usual hawker fare.
The dish itself is the star—the rich, aromatic gravy clings to both the rice noodles and the fall-apart chicken pieces, while the chicken feet add a gelatinous depth that regular bowls lack. This casual, counter-seating spot is a true local fixture, earning a solid 4-star rating for its no-frills execution and generations-old recipe. For a taste of old-school Singapore comfort food, this is a must.

“Oh wow. That has a nice bit of spice to it going down your throat. You taste the nuttiness of the curry, the flavor of the spices, but not overpowering. It has this kind of like harmony of curry powder mixed with a richness mixed with the flavor of chicken. It's almost like a medicinal curry. Oh wow, that's incredible. I was extremely excited for this cuz this is a type of curry I don't think I've ever had before and I've never had this before in Singapore. So, this is my first time. Oh, and on first bite, I'm absolutely loving it. The chicken is so juicy. Tastes like it's been poached or steamed. The chicken is similar to a chicken rice chicken. It's really juicy and soft and tender and ready to absorb that flavor. Chicken is amazing. The bean curd is delicious. It has more of a sweetness to it. You bite down, just all that juicy liquid of curry comes out. The chicken feet are tender. You can eat the foot bones. They really are tender feet. That skin, that gelatinous texture paired with those bones that you can just kind of crunch down on. It's falling apart. You can just completely lick the footbones clean.”
