  • Heard about this place from a couple of friends!! Because I'm a huge fan of Hainanese Chicken Rice. So when this place opened up, a few people told me about it - great job marketing! Drive from Markham area downtown just to try. As soon as I walked in, I was already disappointed. Hainanese Chicken is a traditional Malaysian dish found all over the streets of Malaysia. This place specializing in this dish didn't have a single Malaysian person in the entire staff. Place was completely filled with non-Malaysian customers. Only this high tables reminded me of authentic Malaysian street cuisine. Because we came so far, we decided to wait 45 minutes for a table anyways. But looking at the food alone, we all knew it wasn't going to be good anyways. The Rice didn't have enough colour, the chilli sauce was not authentic. I must say the service was really good and friendly! Well experienced start-up restaurant customer service and great start-up marketing. Now onto the menu... glass of red is $10.50, bottle of beer is $5.95. Menu had 3 main course items only. Roasted Chicken, Hainanese Chicken, and Mushroom Tofu Rice. Main course is $13pp, comes with 4 pcs of chicken, and half of bowl of rice, and MSG melon soup. Their special of the day was double meat, with egg, and crispy chicken skin. Onto the food experience of their specialty dish...chilli sauce is saracha sauce with a hint of grinded red chillis.. already disappointed. Surprising the Rice did have Hainanese flavour.. but missing a lot of the distinct flavour. Rice was soggy.. cause it wasn't made with the authentic steps. Chicken was soft and over boiled.. it's not supposed to be boiled submerged in the pot, which is how I suspect it was prepared.. They used the same pot of Hainanese rice for their Roasted Chicken, and Tofu Chicken main courses.. flavour was not consistent through-out?!? Highlight of the food was he crispy chicken skin..so it would be a must have if you ever visit. I wouldn't say don't ever go here, but don't expect it to be authentic. A bunch of Canadians, who have never probably never had authentic Hainanese Chicken, run this restaurant. Totally disappo
