Fresh Look, New Bites: The Chicken Rice Shop Celebrates 26 Years of Local Flavours

A Makeover for a Household Favorite

If you grew up in Malaysia, chances are high that The Chicken Rice Shop (TCRS) played a huge role in your family weekend outings. Marking a massive 26-year milestone, our favourite homegrown halal chain is officially getting a glow-up! TCRS has unveiled a refreshed look across its 160+ outlets nationwide, complete with a revitalized mascot, snappy new staff uniforms, and redesigned menus. But it’s not just a facelift—they’re also dropping exclusive merch like their very own Sambal Chilli Crunch so you can bring those iconic flavors straight into your home kitchen.

Crispy Roast Chicken and Kunafa Pai Tee, Anyone?

While signature Hainanese chicken rice will always be the GOAT, TCRS is proving there is so much more on the table. The updated menu blends nostalgia with fun culinary twists, featuring new stars like Boneless Crispy Roast Chicken, BBQ Chicken Mayo Pai Tee, and even a sweet-and-savory Strawberry Kunafa Pai Tee. Top it all off with some local comfort dessert like Cakoi paired with Pandan Gula Melaka, and you’ve got plenty of reasons to plan your next lunch run.

Giving Back to the Community

Beyond the sleek new look and mouth-watering bites, TCRS is doubling down on its heartwarming mission to feed local communities. Since opening its doors back in 2000, the brand has quietly sponsored over 7,000 meals every single year for orphanages, welfare organizations, and nurseries across Malaysia. As Deputy General Manager Ms Jane Wong put it, the brand refresh isn't just about showing off a new vibe—it’s about staying true to the comfort food and community support that got them here in the first place.

Celebrate Merdeka with a RM16.90 Feast

Want to join in on the birthday festivities? TCRS is tying its 26th anniversary directly into its annual Merdeka celebrations! From now until 20 September 2026, you can grab a special Merdeka Combo for just RM16.90. The set packs a solid punch with a single portion of chicken (Steamed, Roast, or Soy Sauce), fluffy chicken rice, a side of Keropok Lekor or Penang Rojak, and an ice-cold soft drink.
