So much that my group of friends are discussing about the Hainanese chicken rice. And as I'm around the corner, I thought of trying my luck again, hoping that this time round I can have a taste of the well-liked Hainanese delicacy located in Far East Plaza. The shop was packed as usual and since we are dining as a pair, we were directed to shared a table with others. The layout concept of the restaurant reminds me of those Hong Kong "Shao Lao" (Roasted Delights) shops, squeezy yet packed and wit
The shop was packed as usual and since we are dining as a pair, we were directed to shared a table with others. The layout concept of the restaurant reminds me of those Hong Kong "Shao Lao" (Roasted Delights) shops, squeezy yet packed and with the kitchen "viewable" to their customers. The guy was friendly and polite with order taken promptly after we settled down. I felt quite comfortable even though I'm sitting on the stool and sharing table with a family with his hospitality.
Food was served within a minute after the order. WAO! That was fast!
The plate of boneless white chicken was not as oily as I expected. With Chinese parsley garnishing its top and filled with a bed of sliced proportionately cut cucumber at its bottom. The chicken meat is tender on the average standard and nothing much in particular, not forgetting that the chicken rice is soft and not as oily as well.
The stirred fried Xiao Bai Cai with fried shallots is not oily too.
Salted Vegetables and duck soup was rather salty. Duck meat that was given in the bowl comes to waste as what was given was areas of the neck etc.
Overall, I find that its a healthier version of Chicken rice as less oil was added and there is nothing to rave about.
