🐓 A Singaporean Take: Go Ang Chicken Rice—Close, But Not Quite

As a Singaporean, chicken rice is in our DNA—we’re spoiled with amazing options back home, so I’ll admit, it’s hard to impress us. Still, I gave Go Ang Pratunam Hainanese Chicken Rice 2 in Bangkok a fair try, and here’s my take.

To be fair, I’d rate this as “chicken rice outside of Singapore.” The fried chicken was definitely the star—crispy, flavourful, and satisfying. The accompanying soup was also surprisingly good, rich and comforting, adding a nice touch to the meal.

But the poached chicken was unfortunately a letdown. It was overcooked, and as a result, lacked the tenderness and juiciness that make a good Hainanese chicken shine. The rice was decent but nothing standout.

The price was also on the high side for Thailand standards, though the portion (we ordered half a chicken) was generous enough to share.

Would I eat here again? Maybe, for the fried chicken and soup. But if you’re Singaporean and craving that perfect plate of chicken rice—you’ll probably find better satisfaction back home.
