This place put all Hainan chicken rice places to shame including the famous Savoy Kitchen in Alhambra.
Signature Hainanese Chicken rice ($14.99) with the choice of two sides.
They use good quality chicken, the meat is dense and the skin is without excess fat. The rice is also perfectly cooked like they did pay attention to details. I have to say their flavor is like 95% similar to what I used to have daily in Thailand with much better quality.
The choices of the sides:
1 hour egg (poached egg) is the way to go.
Chinese sausage is a bit salty to my like but it's what it is. (I quit preserved food for a long tim). Daily vegetables (bowl of corn for that day, I don't like it much and didn't get the flavor either, I prefer just some simple freshly cooked vegetables instead).
Broccoli and Quinoa Salad $8.99
if you like broccoli and quinoa it's a perfect combination, flavorful but so light . The slightly crspy tofu is enjoyable. I can see myself eating this dish daily.
Farmer Market Salad
I got it complimentary from the chef, he told me all the ingredients were from downtwon farmer market, the vegetables taste wild with the amazing natural sweetness. I love this dish!
Laksa (coconut curry noodle)$16.99
too salty for me and not the kind of noodle I was expecting even though menu said egg noodle (also too soggy ).
Son in Law Deviled Eggs $8.99
I never had Devil's egg so I can't compare it with normal version. The flavor is too mixed to me which I prefer food just to it's simplest taste at best. Well prepared though.
Cookie A La Mode $7
if you like American kind sweetness, the flavor is actually rich with the crunch texture around the hot cast iron. Too sweet for me and it's also too much for just one person to consume.
They got quite busy during lunch hours but slow during the dinner hours. I'd really enjoy the quiet evening there with my favorite food. This place now ranked #1 as my favorite restaurant in DTLV.
