This is one shop that is silent, but amazing.

Located at a small corner of Lucky Plaza in busy Orchard, no one would have guessed that this small small Malay shop has an endless queue the moment it opens until it closes.

Very tiny shop, it can house probably about 20 people cramped around 5 tables or so. The queue is perpetually never ending especially during lunch time when office workers come to dine. And there are those who would pre-order like 20 over packets of chicken rice for a feast so the wait can be quite long.

The workers and cooks are really busy, so you can expect not to be pampered at all. You may also get scolded by the worker if you take too much space or place your bag on an unoccupied chair, or take too long to eat, during peak hours - which happen all the time considering the shop only opens from 11am to 3++pm until they sell out or when they feel like it.

But… because their chicken rice is soooo goood. You will end up forgiving them on the other aspects.

As-Shifaa Chicken Rice - worth every penny and effort


The rice is fragrant. The chicken is sooo crispy and so juicy. The crumbs are sooo yummy. The soup is flavourful.. And best of all is the sambal, or chilli paste in English. Feels like home-cooked, you really can't find it anywhere else.

It is so good, if you look left and right, everyone has their plates totally clean - every bit of chicken and rice have been eaten. it is really not your normal chicken rice.

Not many people know about this shop as it is happily surviving on it's own loyal customers. and there is only one as-shifaa and they appear to be so secure about their business, they dont seem to care about expanding. But, for the sake of good food, I urge you to try this, at least once in your life. :D

p.s. They have other food too, but... do you really want to forsake the chicken rice?
p.p.s They are on Facebook too people!
