But I have to admit, this Hainanese Chicken Rice is even better than what you find in Malaysia. The chicken is incredibly juicy, and the sauce is so delicious that you'll find yourself wanting a second bowl of that fragrant rice. I absolutely love it!

The chicken is incredibly satisfying, boasting a tender, bouncy texture and a fresh, sweet-savory flavor. The rice served alongside is decadently fluffy and buttery, glistening with chicken fat, and it offers a richly savory, sweet, and oily flavor. To complete the dish, the classic trio of condiments includes dark sweet soy sauce with a salty-sweet profile, bright garlic chili that brings a sharp spicy herbal sweetness, and crushed ginger, providing an earthy herbal warmth.

Ordered their famous steamed chicken, alongside 纸包鸡 and a spinach soup to go along with was asked if we wanted ginger and black sauce to go with the chilli and said yes which was the best decision made for the day serving time was rather prompt, though we did witness other tables being unhappy at us being served before them albeit arriving first. the combination of the chilli , ginger and black sauce was just perfection. The spiciness of the chilli when eaten itself was well soothed by the light and earthy taste of the ginger, topped off with a little sweetness from the black sauce going back to the chicken itself it was really tender and fresh at first bite, topped with really tasty light soy sauce too! rice was fragrant for sure, they used a different variant of rice which was smaller in size and carried more fibre than the usual ones. All in all, really good experience, stick to having all 3 sauces accompanying your dishes and you won’t go wrong for the meal
