Few dishes stir up as much passion in Singapore as a good plate of Hainanese chicken rice, and few places do it better than Tian Tian. A fixture of Singapore’s Maxwell Food Centre for over three decades, Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is practically a household name. It’s beloved by locals, hyped by foodies and famously endorsed by the late Anthony Bourdain. Now, for the first time ever, the brand has expanded beyond Singapore and they’ve chosen Hong Kong as the launchpad.

Tian Tian Authentic in Causeway Bay brings more than just chicken rice to the table. This is a thoughtfully curated experience designed to showcase the soul of Singaporean hawker fare. Alongside Tian Tian’s signature poached chicken and fragrant rice. The result is a one-stop culinary passport for anyone craving real-deal Singapore street food without the flight.

Tian Tian Authentic: A Singapore Street Food Icon Comes to Hong Kong

While the roots may be in a bustling hawker centre, Tian Tian Authentic adds polish without losing its heart. The space is clean and modern, with an understated design that lets the food do the talking. It’s casual enough for a quick weekday lunch, but stylish enough to bring out-of-town guests for a taste of something iconic. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Singaporean cuisine or just curious to try something new, the atmosphere is welcoming and unfussy.

What makes the experience stand out is the balance it strikes: the authenticity of hawker flavors delivered in a comfortable, sit-down setting. There’s no shouting across a food court, no juggling trays in plastic chairs. Just great food, well-presented, in a space that honors its origins while making room for something new.

What to Order

No visit is complete without the Signature Hainanese Chicken Rice. The poached chicken is tender and silky, served with Tian Tian’s famous chili, soy, and ginger sauces. But it’s the rice that truly shines cooked in chicken broth and infused with flavor in every grain.

Beyond the signature, the menu offers a broader look at Singaporean comfort food:

  • Flame-Grilled Pork Neck: Smoky, tender, and slightly charred, this dish adds depth and richness to the mix.
  • Crispy Salt and Pepper Tofu: Lightly battered and perfectly seasoned, this tofu dish delivers crunch, spice, and just the right amount of saltiness.
  • Flaming Stone Grilled Satay Skewers: Served sizzling on a hot stone, these skewers are both a visual and flavorful standout, smoky, juicy, and perfect for sharing.

It’s a menu that covers the familiar and the unexpected, all grounded in authentic flavors.
