Union Farm Chee Pow Kai: Paper-Wrapped Chicken Since 1953 Now In Jurong East

eatbook.sg

Singapore in 1953 looked vastly different from what we know today, so it may come as a surprise to the younger ones among us that along Clementi Road, where SIM now stands, there used to be a chicken farm. Back in the day, it was known as Union Farm, later becoming known as Union Farm Eating House, up till the point they were forced to close in 2017.

Now in their second hawker stall iteration, after their lease in the previous coffeeshop wasn’t renewed, fans of their original Chicken Wrapped in Paper, AKA chee pow kai or paper-wrapped chicken, can breathe easy once again.

Unlike almost 70 years ago, where you could pick your live chicken from the coop for it to be slaughtered and prepared, the chee pow kai today is sold in small packets of chopped-up chicken leg.

They’re sold in sets of five ($12), 10 ($24), 20 ($47), and 40 ($92) pieces, and you’ll have to pre-order them over the phone or on WhatsApp at least two days ahead.

Each piece of chicken is marinated for several days according to the exact same recipe that they gained fame for, and hand-wrapped, before it’s deep-fried.

If you’ve never tried it before, you’ll find it’s thoroughly flavourful, with a light sweetness. Have it with the accompanying chilli for some added tanginess.

There are two noodle options which you can have to accompany the chee pow kai: Egg Noodle w Oyster Sauce ($3/$8) or Bee Hoon w Oyster Sauce ($3/$8). If you find the chicken too rich, these are the perfect complement; they’re only dressed with a touch of sesame oil and the littlest bit of oyster sauce.

The menu at Union Farm Chee Pow Kai lists Quail ($8 each), but these are temporarily unavailable as they’re unable to get a supply of the birds. There’s also Cuttlefish Ball ($8), Cheese Chicken Ball ($10), and Fried Ngoh Hiang ($10), which we’re told is factory-made to Union Farm’s specifications. If you like, you can order Pig Trotter Vinegar ($13), a takeaway-only dish.

Located in the same coffeeshop is Gimme Face Noodle House, which serves modern bak chor mee, and New Teck Kee Chicken Rice.
Address: 267A Toh Guan Road, Singapore 601267
Opening hours: Thurs-Sun 11:30am to 4pm (or sold out)
Tel: 8282 8806
Union Farm Chee Pow Kai is not a halal-certified eatery

Ok lor let me go dig out all the dog’s incriminating threads 还想抵赖ask me to take note woh Cantonese son of SELF ADMITTED SLUT @Franjipani you and your fellow dogs take note violent death is waiting for you the one one that you targeted and persecuted with your Cantonese dog pride is a virgin and never a chicken slut unlike your cheap self admitted dirty slut women Pui!

@ginfreely
pls take note

You criminal bully dogs Cantonese sons of prostitutes smearing and harassing me one want to 洗白launder your dirty defamation crimes to nothing by acting innocent and got the audacity to ask me take note. No need to talk so much you dare not swear to die a violent death that your chicken and outright prostitute with my particulars threads are not targeting me. Pui!

K Shanmugam Sc I see the parliament news today 22 November 24 on internet bullying, Singapore government seems to restrict internet bullying to youth phenomenon when this is far from truth. Many internet bullies are not youths at school but adults or even old people like the lazy idle Cantonese bullies in a rat hole forum that take salary don’t work but spent working hours ganging up to abuse me everyday and when you fight their bullying and sexual harassment, a self admitted Cantonese man in the group shamelessly turned around to repeat lies that I want to have sex with him.

Six days ago I made a post that documented these adult bullies ganging up to bully me « Unfortunately there are many criminal bullies hiding in rat hole forum brazenly doing defamation crimes to me everyday and for years. Their profile is self claimed Cantonese or Hakka that used Cantonese vulgarities on me and one such brazen and proud Cantonese criminal with self admitted Cantonese dirty slut mother just took my life story and twist into a cheap slut whore mistress story when I am a virgin with annulled marriage. « .

Subsequent to this post, not only did the brazen Cantonese criminal bully proudly doing defamation crimes of me showed no signs of remorse but he proudly churned out mass of daily chicken and mistress threads and gang up with other Cantonese and Hakka bullies in the group to make sleazy and insulting comments of me either directly or indirectly using insinuating insults.

And everyone knows it’s Chinese culture to refer to prostitutes as chicken and this brazen Cantonese bully actually started a thread before in March 24 to explain why are prostitutes called chicken so it’s definitely not innocent but evil intentional harassment of me.

And this brazen Cantonese criminal serial liar and other bullies ganging up in the rat hole forum have the audacity to do defamation crimes and harassment crimes to me then act innocent and turned around to call me mad. They think their identity is unknown and can hide in rat hole to abuse me for years to feel good in their jealous sore loser life, such evil people should be severely punished.

Update 3 December 24 the evil arrogant Cantonese bullies continue to do defamation crimes on me smearing and insulting me as slut prostitute and one of the Cantonese bully that spewed much Cantonese vulgarities on me previously and self admitted a thief that committed CBT in office and was jailed for buying illegal goods made defamatory baseless false accusations of me cheating money of my family members and relatives to buy condo etc character assassination of me.

Actually what happened to me is like what happened to the Malaysian influencer that committed suicide and died with people making lewd comments and more. In fact what I encountered is much worse both online and offline with these vicious Cantonese and other bullies hiding in rat hole forum and offline bullies that made whistles and knocks.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Wow I would go and try just for old times sake.
Didn’t remember they had noodles then…..but they did have many other dishes such as roasted pigeons/quails.

Even if the taste is kept still the ambience of the old place was what made it unique. Great memories of the place since as a kid. Even up till the 2000s when having IPPT at Maju camp the smell of the dish always waft in the air and had to go and Tabao after the run.

20 years ago, something unfortunate happened to me, and my father brought me to at their original clementi road location to cheer me up.

Gansiokbin will need to go around Jurong east to kum tong all the chicken sellers in order to clear her dirty name.

now scientists said that the palm oil that they used are better than our seed oils

Replace seed oils like sunflower, soybean, and canola with alternatives that have higher heat stability and fewer harmful byproducts.
