"Most places that specialize in Hainanese chicken and rice stick to the basics: flavorful poached chicken and chicken-flavored rice. But at Hainan Chicken House, a modern Malaysian cafe with wall tiles illustrating different chicken breeds, there are three different options—a perfect rendition of the traditional dish, as well as roast or fried chicken versions. The fried option comes with unflavored rice, an egg and a coconut curry that we’d happily drink like soup. Weekend specials, like Singapore Chili Crab, are worth planning your day around.
