Restoran Teck Sing JB has paper-baked chicken

For some reason, paper-wrapped chicken is seldom seen in Singapore these days, but if you miss that, Restoran Teck Sing, just across the Johor Strait, is one place that still keeps it on the menu—albeit served as a baked, whole chicken, rather than deep-fried packets of chicken pieces.

The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.30 as of 16 July 2025.

Here, Paper Baked Chicken (RM37.60) has been the star dish on the menu, which encompasses more than 70 dishes, since the restaurant was first founded more than 30 years ago, first as a humble dai pai dong, before they moved into their current space. For an idea of how popular it is, it’s said that nine out of 10 patrons at Teck Sing order the item.
