| - Really happy I found some good chicken rice in Toronto. I'm from Singapore, so Hainanese chicken rice is my comfort food and this is an authentic, comparable version.
They offer both roasted and poached. I got roasted and it was soft and flavourful. The rice had a ton of chicken flavour so it was tasty. They use hormone free, grain fed Ontario chicken which was good. The broth with winter melon was rich and flavourful. They provide ginger-scallion sauce, and some chili sauces. I wasn't a fan of the chili sauces because they were way too sweet and not spicy, they were tasty nonetheless. Perhaps I'm biased since I'm used to eating chicken rice with more savoury chili-ginger-garlic sauce that is common in Singapore. However, I've been to Thailand and the sweet chili sauce was prevalent with their version of the chicken rice. The portion for the 'snack' size was okay, not great, for the $9.75 price tag, and could've used more rice to balance out the rice to chicken ratio.
Service was friendly and prompt, and the space, colours and decor are modern and nice. Right now it appears to be cash only.
Anyways, will likely be back to try some other things! Great addition to the hood.
