| - Wherever I go, if there's hainanese chicken on the menu, I'm ordering it. I heard good things about Flock & Fowl, so I was excited to visit during my NYE vacation to Vegas.
The hainanese chicken was good. I like that the chicken isn't "hard poached", they get it just a wee bit under so the chicken is juicier. It comes with three sauces, a chili sambal, soy sauce and a green onion ginger sauce that's commonly served with cold ginger chicken. The dish comes with two sides - I picked Chinese sausage (lup cheong, a slightly sweet, dried sausage that has bits of fat in it) and chicken broth. The broth was too salty and it hadn't been properly skimmed. Next time, I'll go for the 1 hr egg. Oh, but the rice that was served with the hainanese chicken was delicious!!! I would say it was the star of the plate! It's one of the best chicken rice I've had!
If you aren't blessed with an Asian cooking mama, Flock & Fowl is your best bet. Vegas is lucky to have a restaurant that serves this simple dish well.
The flock frites were some of the best curly fries I've had, and I've lived decades eating curly fries. That fry sauce served with it is addictive.
The service, from the hostess to the waiter, were welcoming, friendly and kind. They made the experience all the more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is nice, decked out with sleek black walls.
This location is their second and it's in the heart of DTLV (Downtown Las Vegas), a convenient walking distance from Container Park. It's at the ground level of The Ogden, a luxury condo.
