Hainanese Delights @ Capitol Building

Seated in the busy street of Stamford Road is this little restaurant which serves Hainanese delights known as Hainanese Delights (how convenient, right?).

It always looks busy during the dinner hours when I walk pass the store and I always tell myself that I must give it a try if I have the chance.

And finally the opportunity came last Friday when I knocked off early.

The Menu

Ordered two of their dishes -

#1 - Hainanese Chicken Rice

What is Hainanese Delights without the iconic Hainanese Chicken Rice right? Sad to say, this is not the best chicken rice I have tasted and it’s not even up to my expectation in fact. The serving is just nice but the chicken is not as tender as it looks and the taste of the chicken rice just did not taste as good. It is not as good as it looks to me but neither does it taste bad (now that’s the consolation).

Damage: $3.50

Smith Says:

#2 - Hainanese Curry Rice

This picture sure does no justice to this dish as this dish sure beats the chicken rice hands down. This dish includes rice, fried pork chop, vegetable, egg and of course curry sauce. The pork chop is crispy on the outside and yet tender on the inside. It does not give you the feeling that you are purely chewing on some fried flour. The curry is actually not too spicy, which is suitable for hungry stomachs who are not that into spicy food.

Damage: $3.80

Smith Says:

Overall, this is the kind of place where I classify under the “Eat to live” category rather than “Live to eat” . I have to say it’s pretty value for money if we are talking about quantity. So will I visit this place again? Nah, maybe not.
