Located conveniently at Shaw Parade, Lot GL-03 & GL-04, TEJI Chicken Rice offers a cozy, air-conditioned dining atmosphere—making every visit comfortable and inviting, whether you are escaping the city heat or seeking a peaceful meal break.

The cornerstone of TEJI’s menu is undoubtedly their Signature Teji's Poached Chicken 特级菜园鸡. Available in quarter, half, or whole chicken portions, each serving is accompanied by a trio of carefully crafted condiments: their house soy sauce, chili, and ginger paste, plus fresh cucumber and coriander to refresh the palate. The chicken itself is silkily tender, showcasing the superior quality of kampung (free-range) poultry that's juicy and succulent without a hint of greasiness. As one satisfied customer, Zach sws, puts it, the poached chicken is “silky, juicy, and perfectly tender,” a true star in Malaysian comfort food.

Complementing the chicken is their Special Dry Ramen and Signature Noodles (特级面类) for guests who want a delightful twist, and a variety of rice dishes such as Teji's Chicken Drumsticks Rice and Chicken Breast Rice, each served with vegetables and a savory sauce that balances flavor with freshness. The rice stands out on its own—fragrant yet light, every grain cooked to perfection without clumping, as noted by food enthusiast Melvin Kuan Jia Yong, who praises the “well-cooked rice with each grain distinct and just the right flavor.”

For adventurous palates, the extras menu adds intriguing delights such as tender braised egg, soft chicken livers, century duck eggs, and even a uniquely Malaysian favorite—the chicken butt. These small plates provide texture and depth to your meal, showcasing TEJI’s comprehensive mastery in preparing every part of the chicken thoughtfully.

The dining experience extends beyond the food. The air-conditioned environment is clean and spotless, creating a refreshing oasis amid the energetic streets of Pudu. Service, while friendly and attentive according to many reviews, can occasionally be tested during peak hours due to a small but dedicated team. However, the warmth and sincere hospitality shine through, making guests feel genuinely welcomed. Diners looking for takeout or delivery have also been impressed with the packaging and portion sizes, ensuring that each order arrives as fresh and enjoyable as if served in-house.

TEJI Chicken Rice’s charm lies in combining tradition with quality results—a harmonious blend of succulent chicken, aromatic rice, and perfectly matched sauces that evoke the nostalgia of classic Malaysian street food, elevated in a clean and comfortable setting. Whether you're a local in search of your next favorite spot or a visitor eager to experience authentic kampung chicken rice, TEJI offers an exquisite culinary journey that deeply satisfies every craving.

The food here is delicious, and the taste truly matches the price you pay. The meat is tender, and the soy sauce is flavorful—perfect with rice and not overly salty. The rice itself is well-cooked, with each grain distinct and just the right flavor. Both the chili sauce and ginger sauce are tasty, and you can ask for more without any issue. Words don’t do it justice—it’s best to come and try it for yourself. This is definitely a restaurant worth visiting.

Teji Chicken Rice Shop is a hidden gem for those who appreciate a good plate of Malaysian-style chicken rice. The moment you step in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly cooked rice infused with chicken fat and pandan — always a good sign. Their Signature Teji Poached Chicken is the star of the show — silky, juicy, and perfectly tender. Paired with their fragrant ginger paste and fiery chili sauce, it hits all the right notes of flavor and nostalgia. The lady’s finger with fried scallion is a simple yet delightful side dish — fresh, crunchy, and drizzled with savory oil that complements the meal perfectly. Don’t miss the Shrimp Wonton Soup, either. The broth is light yet flavorful, and the plump wontons, each filled with a whole shrimp, make it a comforting bowl to start your meal. To round it off, the kopi here is smooth and nicely balanced — aromatic with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, Teji Chicken Rice Shop delivers a satisfying, authentic Malaysian chicken rice experience — and the easy parking is just the cherry on top.

Superior quality Hainanese free-range chicken rice in a spotless air-conditioned setting. Chuncky tender steamed chicken drizzled with well-balanced soy sauce, crunchy cucumber, homemade chili-garlic and ginger sauce, piping hot clear soup to crave for more. Dark (thick) soy sauce is also available upon request. Very generous portion of bean-sprouts even for small size. Rice was fragrant but not overpowering. I totally enjoyed my meal and would recommend it.

The food here is generally good when dining in, but the service leaves much to be desired. There usually seem to be only two staff members managing the whole place, so once a few tables are occupied, service becomes extremely slow… almost to the point where it feels like you’re better off serving yourself. I’ve also ordered multiple times via Grab delivery, and if you place your order in the evening, you’re likely to receive leftover chicken parts with very small portions. It’s definitely better to dine in if possible, or place your delivery order early to avoid this issue. Another concern is the condiments, particularly the chili and ginger sauces. The portions provided are minimal, and delivery orders often ignore any special instructions to include more. Even when dining in, getting extra sauce takes ages, so I’ve resorted to helping myself. The staff originally gave us a very diluted ginger sauce, seemingly because they didn’t bother to stir it properly. Given how essential the ginger sauce is to the meal, it should really be served with better care… There’s AC but due to the design of the shop being so open, it’s not very cooling considering our current weather.

Ordered the chicken on rice through Grab tonight and everything was packaged perfectly. The food was delicious. Good portions and well packed. Only thing is, there should have been a small bowl for the soup, otherwise everything was great. Would definitely order from here again.
