This was our second time stopping by the food court for Gai Kitchen and finally, we managed to snag a table.
Located in the Mott Street Eatery, Gai Kitchen is one of the many stalls present. Although they specialize in Hainanese steamed chicken and Thai-style roasted chicken, their menu also offers various sides and drinks, such as garlic or spicy wings, crispy fries, fried tofu, Thai iced tea, and more.
* Mixed Steamed and Roasted Chicken with Ginger Garlic Rice $10.00
We ordered the mixed to try both flavors and easily loved both. The steamed chicken was juicy, moist, and tender, while the roasted chicken was well-marinated and packed with flavor. It came with two sauces--a ginger-garlic sauce and a chili-tamarind sauce--both of which I didn't like, and did without. We also added a son-in-law egg for an additional $1.90, which is on the pricier side, yes, but the crispy egg exterior and sweet, runny interior made it well worth the cost.
* Pink Milk $3.75
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I really struggled to like this drink. It's not terribly sweet, which was great, but it tasted like a combination of strawberry, bubble gum, and Pepto-Bismol. If the three got together and had a baby, that's the taste of pink milk in a nutshell.
* Crispy Spring Rolls $3.75
Tasty and incredibly crispy, though a tad soggy on the inside. Good, but I probably wouldn't reorder.
