I have been coming to this restaurant for the past 15 years. I haven't been back for a long time and IT IS NOT THE SAME as before anymore, sadly to say. I have been ordering their Hainanese Chicken Rice for ages! Today, the rice was not fragrant and quite soggy. Chicken is the key to the dish and it tasted like plain boiled chicken I can do myself at home. I also use to can choose between dark and white meat and their white meat use to have absolutely no bones in it ~ very tender. But the girl told me, they don't allow us to choose now. Anyways, we did get white meat for the most part, but the chicken didn't taste fresh. Bummer. Also ordered their Char Kway Teow. It was soaked in dark soy sauce. Sorely disappointed.
The Old Lion City definitely is not serving as "authentically" delicious dishes like they use to, in my opinion. Sad to say, I've moved on.
