Why Diners Choose Tak Chee House

From signature Penang chicken rice to rotating weekly hawker specials, here is why diners choose Tak Chee House.

  • Authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice

    Tak Chee House prepares succulent chicken paired with flavorful chicken-fat rice, rich soup, and balanced chili sauces that deliver authentic Penang flavor.

    Rice is cooked to perfection, soup stock is flavoursome and the chicken is warm/hot (not cold!).. and the chilli (almost forgot!)

  • Tailored Portions & Custom Cuts

    Diners can customize their chicken rice by opting for breast or thigh cuts, accompanied by generous dressings and fresh bean sprouts.

    Really juicy chicken rice with generous sauce/soup with bean sprouts. Its good that we can have the option of breast or thigh meat.

  • Communal Whole Chicken & Rice Buckets

    For groups and families, the kitchen serves shared whole-chicken formats with buckets of rice for generous and economical gatherings.

    she told us we could order a whole chicken with a bucket of rice, it would be cheaper and we could order more if we think it's not enough.

  • Day-Specific Hawker Specials

    Beyond daily chicken rice, the restaurant serves rotating traditional specialties like Wednesday bak kut teh and Sunday assam laksa.

    By far the best Chicken Rice that you can get in Perth & Assam Laksa (only available on Sundays).

  • Classic Malaysian Hawker Setting

    The dining room delivers the cozy, unpretentious atmosphere of a neighborhood Malaysian food stall with beloved classics like char kway teow and laksa.

    The setting is cozy and unpretentious, which I love – it feels like you’ve stepped into a local eatery in Malaysia.

  • Beef Rendang

    Tak Chee House brings the true taste of Malaysia to the heart of the city! Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavors, from the beef rendang to the roti canai with curry.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, group ordering formats, and rotating specials to make the most of your visit.

  • Order Whole Chicken & Rice Buckets for Groups

    If visiting in a group of four or more, order a whole chicken paired with a bucket of rice for a cost-effective, family-style meal.

  • Plan Around Daily Rotating Specials

    Schedule visits for day-specific hawker specialties, including herbal bak kut teh on Wednesdays and Penang assam laksa on Sundays.
