About Qi Chicken
Qi Chicken is a confinement food caterer operating islandwide from its kitchen at 947 Upper Serangoon Road. It is verified by KakiList and holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating across 1,033 Google reviews — a robust sample that provides meaningful signal. Pricing is positioned at the mid-range ($$) and follows a package model typical of Singapore's confinement meal delivery market.
Mothers considering Qi Chicken would normally begin by enquiring about the available package lengths — the standard 28-day package is the most common, though shorter 7-day or 14-day options suit those who want to trial the food before committing to a full month. It is worth confirming how many trays are delivered per day (typically lunch and dinner, with breakfast as an optional addition), which dietary tradition the kitchen follows, and whether herbal soups, red dates tea, longan tea, and confinement tonics are bundled into the package price or billed separately. Qi Chicken's name suggests a focus on chicken-based confinement dishes — a cornerstone of Cantonese and Hokkien postnatal cooking — though prospective customers should confirm the full menu directly. Delivery is typically twice daily, with a hot meal arriving within a roughly four-hour window of cooking; confirm the specific delivery slots and packaging type before ordering.
The most straightforward next step is to contact Qi Chicken via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to request the current package menu, confirm delivery slots for your due-date window, and — if possible — arrange a trial meal before paying any deposit.

I didn’t realize that even here in Singapore, it’s still possible to find a single large pot of food meant to serve four people. The portions are so generous that even though we tried our best, we simply couldn’t finish everything, and thankfully, we were able to pack the leftovers home. It’s rare these days to find a place that serves food in such abundance without compromising on taste or quality. The dishes were absolutely delicious—rich in flavor, comforting, and satisfying—and it’s clear that this restaurant has been doing things right for many, many years. The combination of hearty portions, excellent taste, and a long-standing reputation makes it a truly memorable dining experience, one that I would happily return to again and again.

It had been a long time since my last visit to Qi Wei Ji Bao Kovan. The broth tasted saltier than I remembered and the chicken meat wasn’t as tender as before. Service was average — one lady was actively helping customers with broth refills, but for canned drinks and ice cube you had to get yourself through self-service.

Went there for dinner and ordered their signature claypot broth paired with chicken at medium spicy level. The broth came with pieces of chicken breast and drumstick in a rich herbal soup, topped with onions and Chinese coriander. While the flavor of the herbs and spices was distinct, we found the medium spicy level a little too strong for our liking — it overpowered the broth slightly, making it hard to fully enjoy the herbal notes. The dish was served in a claypot set over a portable stove, keeping the soup bubbling hot throughout the meal, which was a nice touch. They have an interesting concept where you can pick your own side dishes from the fridge — options include vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and various meats. Each plate is charged individually, with meats priced higher than the other ingredients. Drinks, condiments, and cutlery are all self-service. If you’re driving, parking can be tricky, but you can park at Kovan Market nearby. Overall, the staff were friendly and accommodating. I’d definitely go for a milder spice level next time, and would love to try their clear herbal soup on my next visit.

Been here a few times, still enjoyed myself. Could have more self-serve dish options but overall still good

Very nice old school style of hotpot. Been coming here for quite some years. Price reasonable! Recommended for sure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Qi Chicken charge for a confinement food package?›
Qi Chicken uses a package pricing model positioned at the mid-range ($$). Across the Singapore market, 28-day confinement food packages typically run from S$1,200 to S$2,800 depending on the number of daily trays, whether herbal soups and tonics are included, and the caterer's tradition. Shorter 7-day or 14-day packages are available from many providers at a proportionally higher per-day rate and serve as a useful trial before committing to a full month. Confirm with Qi Chicken whether herbal soups, red dates tea, longan tea, and any confinement tonics are bundled into the quoted price or billed as extras, and whether a delivery surcharge applies to your address.

What dietary tradition does Qi Chicken follow, and is there a trial meal?›
Qi Chicken's name points strongly towards chicken-centric confinement cooking — a hallmark of Cantonese and Hokkien postnatal traditions, which favour warming dishes such as ginger sesame chicken, rice wine chicken, and herbal soups. Prospective customers should confirm the full tradition directly, whether the menu rotates daily or repeats weekly, and whether adjustments can be made for breastfeeding mothers who prefer low-spice or alcohol-free (no rice wine) dishes. Most reputable confinement food caterers offer a single-day trial meal, typically priced at S$30–60. Ordering a trial before paying the full package deposit is strongly recommended — confinement appetite shifts considerably in the early postpartum weeks, and personal taste matters more than menu descriptions.
Is Qi Chicken licensed and how is food safety handled?›
No regulatory licences are currently listed on Qi Chicken's KakiList profile. Legitimate confinement food caterers operating from a fixed kitchen in Singapore are required to hold an SFA Food Shop Licence or Catering Licence, and the premises should carry an SFA hygiene grade (A being highest). Prospective customers should ask Qi Chicken directly for the licence number and current hygiene grade before placing a deposit. Confinement meals should be cooked the same day and delivered hot in microwave-safe, BPA-free containers within a roughly four-hour window. Confirm the twice-daily delivery time slots, what happens if a delivery is missed, and the refund or substitute policy before committing to a full package.
