If the names Boon Tong Kee and Nam Kee ring a bell, you’re likely familiar with Singapore’s unofficial national dish, Hainanese chicken rice. While delicious, these recognizable brands are often not halal-certified, making them inaccessible to the Muslim community in Singapore. Though halal options exist, they are typically found in generic food courts and lack the appeal that would warrant a special trip. Enter Hai Ge Ji Hainanese Chicken Rice, Singapore’s newest halal chicken rice joint, started by local celebrity rapper Sheikh Haikel and his wife, Anna Belle Francis.
