Had a really enjoyable meal here! 😋 Boss Soki was such a warm and friendly host, which made the whole dining experience even better. The roasted chicken was tender and flavourful, but my favourite has to be the crispy pork belly. The skin was crispy, yet the meat was surprisingly tender and not dry at all. 🤤 The soup was also a pleasant surprise. Instead of the usual soups you get outside, we had a refreshing melon soup that was light, comforting and full of flavour. And I have to mention the garnishes—the garlic was absolutely the bomb! It elevated every bite. Great food, great hospitality, and definitely a place I’ll come back to. Highly recommended! ❤️

Loved the food. Chicken was smooth, and all the food was tasty. Environment was nice. Staff were very attentive and kept refilling our soup and chilli sauce. Will be back (if I come back to east side).

Silly me ordered roasted chicken breast instead of steamed zzz... Wah so hard and dry, reminds me of halal chicken rice or those in school canteen. The soup and achar were excellent though. Hope to try the steamed next time see if it's similar to the OG outlet...

Kitty and I were excited to try Katong Mei Wei, a popular eatery known for its chicken rice and modern cafe-style drinks. We'd heard good things from friends and online reviews, and I'd even tried it once before with a colleague at the Katong Shopping Centre outlet, which is located within a coffee shop. This time, we went to their stand-alone restaurant location, and while the location has a bright and casual atmosphere with a cartoonish mural and string lights, making it feel relaxed and family-friendly, our experience wasn't all that memorable. We waited about 10 minutes in the queue for a table and another 20 minutes for our food and drinks. We also noticed that the servers were mostly Thai or Vietnamese, which was interesting. While the chicken rice was decent, Kitty felt it wasn't as good as some of the well-known chicken rice stalls, and we both agreed the achar and bean sprouts lacked flavor The chicken rice had a yellowish tint, but we felt it lacked that distinct chicken rice taste. The Matcha Marshmallow Milkshake wasn't our favourite either. However, Kitty really enjoyed her Royal Milk Tea. On the plus side, they offer free-flow achar and soup. We appreciated that they were generous with both. I've tried this chicken rice before, and it was much better than I remembered. I'm not sure if it's because of this particular outlet or maybe the standard has dropped over time. Overall, while the atmosphere is inviting, the food itself didn't quite live up to the hype. We're not sure if we'd recommend this spot specifically for chicken rice.

Nice branch of the ever popular Katong Shopping Center original. The chicken, soup and achar is as good as the parent location, only there is usually no crazy queue and wait time here! The parking outside is quite suffucient, staff is attentive and prompt. Will definitely come here again!
