Rocovo Restaurant – Chye Kee Goldhill Chicken Rice

Rocovo Restaurant is by definition a restaurant because it is a place where meals are prepared and served to paying customers. The name may even conjure up the image of a grand colonial era restaurant. Rocovo Restaurant is in fact a very Singaporean coffee shop in Goldhill Centre. There are several stalls in the coffee shop but the most popular stall there is Chye Kee Goldhill Chicken Rice stall.

Chicken Rice & Char Siew with Roast Pork Rice

We ordered the Chicken Drumstick Rice ($4) and Char Siew with Roast Pork Rice ($4).

The chicken was tender and quite flavourful. The rice was proper chicken rice – it had good texture and was fragrant, slightly savoury and not oily. It may not rank among the best chicken rice in Singapore but it is a notch or two above the average chicken rice you will find in the food courts.

Char Siew with Roast Pork Rice

The portion of meat in the Char Siew with Roast Pork Rice was quite generous. The roast pork or ‘sio bak’ was quite good – with crunchy skin, tender meat and some fats. The char siew was not bad but made more palatable with the sweet savoury sauce. It was quite an enjoyable rice meal for just $4.
