| - This is my 3rd time or 4th time here I think? I brought someone new here this time, one of my co-workers from SickKids hospital. No special occasion, just here for lunch to satisfy our empty stomach.
I ordered the Hai-nan chicken. Okay before you guys get all "wtf is that" on me, let me just first say that I took a picture of my meal this time so you guys can all see how juicy and awesome this chicken was. The reason I got this today was because it was the Friday special and also because I always wanted to try this chicken. The first time i came here I ordered the lemongrass BBQ chicken and it was worth 5 stars to me, 2nd time was beef, 3rd time was chicken, and 4th time is chicken again! Chicken is definitely my favourite here! (So I guess I have been here 4 times).
The chicken was so moist it couldn't have been anymore moist. The skin was just like it should be. The side of salted green onion and garlic (it's not supposed to be eaten like coleslaw, it's meant to be put on top of the chicken) was perfectly seasoned and awesome. The rice was heaven. I'm like a rice master (since I always eat rice. Don't be racist). It was perfectly cooker, not mushy, not hard, perfectly seasoned (I think they put lemongrass while steaming the rice) and it was just so aromatic and awesome. I probably could've eaten the rice on its own without the chicken and I would've been a happy man. I can't even imagine how bomb that rice would've been if it was put into fried rice.
One thing you guys should know about this dish before ordering it is that the chicken is supposed to be cold! It's not supposed to be super hot or sizzling. And no, they didn't forget to heat it up or anything. This is the way that Hai-nan chicken should be eaten. Sometimes it's called hainanese chicken.
The ONLY disappointing thing was that I wish there was more chicken because of how good it was. But I guess I can't complain too much because of how cheap it is also! It's only 9 bucks after a 15% discount given at lunch!
On top of all this, the servers and waiters and waitresses are all very attentive and nice. The owner there is also very nice. Like I said before, I think his name is "Kai".
OKAY LET ME JUST ADD ONE MORE THING... I took pictures of a smaller menu they recently just added. Let me be the first to say that it looks beyond amazing. Most of these dishes are from mainland China and they have everything from spicy fish in a pot, to pig trotters, to pig ears, to braised pork, EVERYTHING OKAY?!? It's definitely a carnivores delight. I took pictures of this too!!
This place is definitely worth going to whether you're alone or in a group, with family, with your gf or bf, or anyone! Go here! You won't regret it!
