WEE NAM KEE – Indonesia

Wee Nam Kee is a famous Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant originated from Singapore that has been established since 1987, the restaurant has expanded its business to Indonesia where you can find their first outlet at The Breeze BSD City, Tangerang.

Crowned as Top Hawker at Asia One People’s choice award in 2010, Wee Nam Kee is one of recommended restaurants in Singapore for Singapore’s true flavor of Hainanese Chicken Rice.

The restaurant space in The Breeze BSD City is pretty spacious, it consists of two floors with mixture of modern and traditional Chinese interior concept, love the pop of color from the use of colorful lanterns.

Famous for its Chicken Rice, basically for the chicken, there are three types of chicken Steamed, Roasted and Soya Sauce Chicken with three choices of portion Quarter for 2 person, Half for 3-4 person and Whole for 6-7 person, there is a chicken rice set for personal serving too that consists of chicken, rice and soup.

Half Mix Chicken (Steamed & Roasted) IDR 96k
If you are curious with the all variants of chicken, we highly recommend you to try the Half Mix Chicken where you can get a combination of Steamed and Roasted chicken in one portion. The chicken was served with fresh cucumber slices and drizzled with light soy based sauce. Seasoned nicely, the chicken was very tender, moist and simply delicious.

Steamed Chicken is me and Mr. Jajan’s personal favorite, we enjoyed the soft texture and comforting taste, while our family favourited Roasted Chicken for its golden roasted skin and tender texture. Don’t forget to dip the chicken into their signature chili sauce condiment for extra spicy flavor kick

Quarter Soy Sauce Chicken IDR 67k
Other than the two types of chicken above, for more bold taste, Wee Nam Kee also has Soy Sauce Chicken, tender savory soy chicken drizzled with thick, rich and bold soy based sauce.

Nasi Hainam / Fragrant Hainanese Rice IDR 13k
The best companion for chicken would be the soft fluffy fragrant and flavorful Hainanese Rice. It compliments the taste of tender chicken very well, simply a must order!

To complement the Hainanese Chicken Rice, Wee Nam Kee also offers various Chinese Nanyang inspired dishes with plenty of choices from vegetables, soup, beancurd, poultry or beef dishes, noodle, rice and seafood dishes.

Deep Fried Baby Squid IDR 75k
Unique baby squid dish, deep fried crunchy baby squid cooked with sweet and savory tasting sauce that kinda reminds me of ‘goreng mentega’ dish.

Slice Fish Curry IDR 65k
It was an enjoyable fish curry dish, the fish was fresh with silky smooth texture, while the curry was rich, aromatic and well-seasoned.

Hot Plate Beancurd IDR 42k
Soft egg tofu/bean curd cooked with various ingredients in thick gravy served on top of sizzling hot plate. It was savory with a bit of spiciness.

Hor Fun IDR 45k
Compared to other dishes, this one might look not as appetizing as other dishes but wait till you try it, it tasted da bomb! The hor fun or thick flat white noodle (kwetiaw) was stir-fried to get the aromatic wok-fried smell and then drizzled with savory and comforting thick gravy with seafood, vegetable and egg in it. Sooo good!

Prawn Rolls in Beancurd IDR 48k
Mixture of chopped prawn rolled with beancurd skin and then deep fried till golden and crunchy.

Sambal Kangkong IDR 35k
Great tasting of stir fried ‘kangkung’ or water spinach in spicy prawn paste sambal/chili.

Cereal Prawns IDR 87k
This one is highly recommended! Deep fried big prawns with crunchy, savory and addicting golden crispy cereal. Had this dish twice and no sign of getting bored, we just love combination between juicy and sweet prawns with crunchy cereal.

AnakJajan have visited this restaurant twice and we always came home with happy tummies, it is the type of comfort food that we enjoy. Wee Nam Kee’s Chicken Rice is our favorite number 1 at this moment, we must say it’s one of the best places for chicken rice in Jabodetabek. Overall, tasty and satisfying dishes, Wee Nam Kee definitely the place to get the true flavor of Singapore’s Hainanese Chicken Rice. Let’s Jajan!!
