Now open at Lentor Modern, Jew Kit Hainanese Chicken Rice continues a culinary legacy that began in 1992. Founded by Mr Teo Jew Kit, the brand has evolved from a humble hawker stall into a well-loved name, known for preserving the authentic flavours of Singapore’s iconic Hainanese Chicken Rice while embracing thoughtful innovation.
At the heart of its offering is the Signature Steamed Chicken, prepared using a proprietary sous vide system designed to maintain optimal freshness and texture. This precise method allows a delicate layer of collagen to form naturally between the skin and flesh, enhancing both flavour and mouthfeel. Rendered from the bones and joints of fresh chickens, the result is a dish that feels both comforting and refined.
Inspired by the heritage of early Hainanese settlers who brought their culinary knowledge into Singapore’s kitchens, Jew Kit’s dishes reflect a deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship. Each plate carries a sense of nostalgia, paired with a personal touch that has defined the brand for over three decades — offering diners a taste of Hainanese culinary culture, thoughtfully carried into the present.
