Joseph Tan and Jass Lee had set up their own chain Rui Ji Chicken Rice in 2023 and purportedly use recipes from their family’s defunct business Swee Kee, which was widely regarded as Singapore’s best chicken rice purveyor.

New: You can now listen to articles.after making headlines in April this year for opening a Hainanese chicken rice shop that employs staff with disabilities, the siblings who founded the business are now at loggerheads with each other over how to run it.

When she and Joseph opened their first Rui Ji Chicken Rice eatery in Toa Payoh, Jass helped out part-time with operations at the shop, which also serves Hainanese-style chicken curry noodles. Due to the heavier workload, Jass said, her brother hired more manpower to ease her burden and let her take a break. He also opened two more Rui Ji outlets at Beach Road and Ubi, though the Ubi branch has since closed due to poor footfall.The trouble started when, according to Jass, Joseph tweaked their Swee Kee-linked recipes in her absence and changed their Hainanese menu to include roast meat and laksa.

“Joseph already registered Rui Ji , so I thought for two nights and decided to add the Moh name,” she explained. “At my stall, I only sell steamed chicken and gizzards.”When Joseph learnt that Jass had opened her own stall, “he started texting me”, she said. She showed 8days a very tense conversation with Joseph over WhatsApp, in which he expressed unhappiness that she was using the Moh name for her own biz.

“When she told me to set up the Toa Payoh outlet, we used Swee Kee’s recipes, but were dismal. After three days, I took over,” he said, adding: “I think her food, cannot leh. She cook at home for people, can lah. But if she wants to become a hawker, cannot lah.” Customers can top up for chicken rice ball , chicken wing , gizzards/liver and braised egg . There are also options to buy just steamed chicken .We personally find that the rice here could be more flavourful, but the steamed chicken is pretty good; succulent with a silky, gelatinous layer of skin drizzled with a moreish soy-based sauce. This is accompanied by a serviceable-enough plate of veggies and light broth.
