| - Perhaps the best chicken rice I've had outside of Singapore? Certainly the fanciest - classic combo #1 with poached Mary's chicken, pretty presentation on a modern/hip matte black platter, trio of sauces on the side. Recommend coughing up the $2 for dark meat only - a regulation-sized serving of sliced tender, tasty chicken with skin (and no bones - huge plus!). The rice itself was fragrant and perfectly seasoned, accompanied with a pinch of pickles. Only issue I had with F&F's star dish? The broth should be part and parcel of classic Hainanese chicken rice - even if it's a perfunctory shot or teacup size - not some janky $1 surcharge...
The other dishes we tried were quite good - the chef's special duo of toast (pate with jalapeno jelly, duck confit with quail egg), buttermilk chicken tender bao, and the house salad.
It's not in a tourist-attractive part of town, but then again, none of the best tasting food in Las Vegas is. Tiny seating area, very sweet service/staff, although the order process is numbingly slow for unclear reasons. If you don't have time to linger over lunch, call your order in ahead of time for takeout. Otherwise, big warning: there is no restroom. Plan accordingly.
