Rui Ji Chicken Rice owner opens new Ubi restaurant, employs accident & illness survivors for career opportunities
Swee Kee, which closed in 1997, was widely hailed as the pioneer of chicken rice and served the best version of it in Singapore before its closure. Sing Swee Kee and Rui Ji have names that were derived from Swee Kee. These details were shared by netizen Yi Lin Sng on Facebook group Can Eat! SG, after she visited the stall and learnt that it was struggling with poor business. She: “Being new and having little publicity, not many know of their existence. They offered to pay me to advertise on their behalf as they are struggling to stay afloat, Joseph confided in me that he might have to close the Ubi shop if footfall remains low.
Another staff member working at the stall is Frankie Wong, whom Yi Lin says “suffered from burns and a broken leg as a result of a kitchen accident.” He was hospitalised for half a year and never regained strength in his broken limb, which impeded his movement. But he still encountered resistance from some customers at his Ubi shop. Joseph notes: “They are impatient and don’t want to wait too long for their food.”
