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!)
Gary Fernandez 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.
Joyz Lio 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.

With hearty portion sizes and a casual dining setup, it provides a family-friendly destination suited for bringing children and friends together.
Great sized meals for everyone. Bring the kids along the will love it too. Street parking, very close to Public transportation. Good for groups or eating alone.

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