Meanwhile, the High Tea Combo is ideal for gatherings, including a delightful assortment of Pau and Chicken Meat Rolls that pair beautifully with your preferred tea.

Beverages at Borneo Chicken Rice are equally delightful. Sip on their Iced Teh C Special, which reviewers have noted as “very smooth,” or enjoy an Iced Air Bandung that offers a refreshing sweet taste reminiscent of local flavors at just MYR 6.60.

The fragrance rice is nice. The steamed chicken is delicious. The bean sprout so crispy. The iced tea very smooth. This lunch set worthy.

I rarely post about food places, but the tuaran mee stim here, is just soooo good. Sooooo so good. And cheap too

Went here with my friend for ou lunch. its affordable chicken rice. super cheap, delicious and most importantly they served it right away. Due to Mco, the space is limited, luckily we got our meja kosong and finish our meal there. no need to tapau. recommended!

I've been coming to this restaurant since before COVID-back when the chicken rice was RM5.50 and now it's RM7.50.. The taste is still the same.. The chicken pau filling is generous and juicy too.. Only thing is, the chicken chop kolomee is a bit too wet.
