Hi darlings! This is gonna be a short one! Phyllis and I decided to go shopping in town with a friend yesterday. We've decided drop-by here for lunch before the start of our long shopping spree! (which he only bought a pair of pants-.-and we walked for hours!) Okay, back to the topic; Hainanese Delicacy only serves CHICKEN RICE! Whoa~I gotta say the queue was LONG! We waited in the queue for about 10-15 minutes?

We ordered half a roasted chicken, a plate of xiao bai cai and one can of green tea! Our bill came to a total of $24.70. Truthfully, half a roasted chicken can feed about 4 people, so bring more people there to eat yeah! (lowers down the per person cost!)

Advantages:

• There's a lot of chicken!
• They remove the bones for ya!
• The chicken is very tender!
• It does not leave you a very oily after taste unlike some others.
• The cucumbers that come with it is crisp and they taste good with the sauce!
• Chili sauce there is good! Try it!
• They steamed the vegetables instead of stir-frying them like some other stalls (MORE healthy!)

Disadvantage:

• The chicken is slightly cold (I'd prefer it a little warmer though)
• The soup tastes rather bland (but it depends on your preference)
• The turn over rate is rather high during lunch hour, there's really a pressure to eat a little faster
• It's rather cramp inside (but you won't stay more than 30 minutes inside so it's actually alright)

I would say that overall it's slightly pricey compared to a normal chicken rice stall at any hawker center. But then again, if you ordered a plate of chicken rice which is at an average of $3 and a small plate of vegetables which they ALSO charge at roughly $3 (bringing it to a total of $6) I would say that this would be a cheaper choice as the vegetable served is definitely more than what 3 small plates of vegetables from a normal hawker center put together would serve and you get half a chicken too with loads of cucumbers! If you happen to go there, let me know your opinions too^^
