Entrepreneur Alson Teo and the late chef Toh Tian Ser, set to work on an innovative way to distil their passion for and expertise in making chicken rice. Paying equal attention to craftsmanship and industrialisation, the duo designed an automated process that ensures every carefully sourced ingredient is cooked to exacting perfection. In doing so, our chicken rice traditions can not only be preserved, but flourish into the future.

​

Their revolutionary efforts have culminated in Roost, a convivial space where everyone can enjoy a taste of exceptional chicken rice. Thanks to the precision of ikook, our proprietary automated cooking system, and the use of thoughtfully sourced ingredients, Roost's chicken rice is unfailingly succulent, flavourful and unmistakably authentic.
