| - A new great spot in Chinatown from the team who is familiar to many known as Patois Toronto. From the attracting baby blue exterior painting, to the very colorful graffiti interior with colanders enclosed together as light bulb covers, this place will give you a very good vibe. Very spacious, informative staff and AMAZING chicken rice.
So, on the menu they have choices of Southern Asian style roasted chicken, poached hainanese chicken, and tofu mushroom. All served with rich, schmaltzy rice and winter melon soup. You can choose the snack size or the meal. There's more awesome stuff on their menu, but I believe that these three dishes are the super stars.
I got the sambal glazed roasted chicken snack size ($9.75), which also came with rice, winter melon soup and Thai fish sauce. Let me tell you, every bit of rice that goes in my mouth is heavenly. The rice was very very tasty and flavorful. The chicken rice flavor reminds me of a Filipino chicken soup dish called Tinola. The soup and flavor tastes similar which was very comforting and definitely brought me back home.
Take note, the snack size portion is not your typical snack size (small). I do not eat huge portions, so the snack size was perfect for me yet it was enough to fill me up. At Jackpot, their snack size will fill you up just right. The chicken was big enough plus the rice & soup, wish there were more rice though to balance out with the chicken. I think I would order some extra schmaltz rice next time! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G chicken rice and its now in Toronto!
Make sure you go check this place out because Jackpot is home. I will be coming back for more.
***Cash only for now.
