"Hainan House, a southern Chinese spot, brings a relaxed glow to a hectic part of Islington, with a quiet dining room and plates of house-poached poussin. The subtle flavours here aren’t out to shout in your face but, rather, creep up on you. And the mini coconut chicken hotpot is, for all intents and purposes, poultry penicillin." - jake missing, sinead cranna
