This place is located a block away from Pure Yoga, the yoga studio where we oftentimes host our team exercise. This place is recommended by one of our foodie colleague who brightens up every time there is food. So far, his recommendations have all been quite well received. The funny thing is, I issue a KPI (key performance index - inside joke) to all of my colleagues who try to recommend restaurants and eateries. Some has a very high KPI, meaning that their recommendations have not failed, and some have negative KPIs, where for example the restaurant they recommended is no longer in business.
We decided to come here for dinner after our yoga class Thursday evening. Apparently, this place is only open on weekdays. Given this, you can imagine how well the business is...to not even have to open up on weekends - days where I would consider as peak season for restaurants.
The restaurant serves one type of dish: hainanese chicken rice.
The menu has two options: chicken+rice, or chicken+rice+3side dishes
Again, I have to comment that for a business to survive with just one type of dish, it had to be good right?
The restaurant is well lit, and is in a self-serve style. You order at the front desk, they give you a ticket, then you find your own table to sit in the restaurant. When they call your name, you walk up to their serving window to pick up your food. At the end of the meal, you pick up your left over, bring it to a recycle station, and dispose. Very similar to food courts in malls...not to mention the price is food court priced too!!
The chicken is tendor and juicy. The sauce is excellent. What tops it off is that it's boneless!
It's such a hassle to enjoy a meal and have to spit out bones at the same time. All not very proper and definitely a reduction in the enjoyment level. I'm all about efficiency, and being able to shuffle food in heapings, hehehe...
Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Haninese chicken. I would even say that it is the perfect place for take-outs as well. If you're in the vicinity, and are looking for a tasty treat, definitely stop by!
