REALLY GOOD
1st SIGNATURE HAINAN CHICKEN OVER RICE
Special Hainan Chicken 和记海南鸡饭, San Leandro
After my mom schooled me for ordering Hainan Chicken from the "wrong" place, I decided to check out the place that she and her mahjong buddies go to often. Definitely a lot tastier than the Hainan chicken from Baby Cafe. If I'm in the area, I'll order this again!
2nd TRADITIONAL HAINAN CHICKEN RICE
Baby Cafe Hong Kong Bistro Emeryville, Emeryville
Delicious and totally inspired to order based on @truvietbabe's recent eaten post from the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
3rd TOM SAAP
Bird & Buffalo, Oakland
Hot & sour lemongrass chicken rice soup. Really good comfort food on a cold night.
PRETTY GOOD
4th HAINAN STYLE CHICKEN WITH SPECIAL RICE
Hong Kong Cafe, Richmond
I know this is a cold dish, but I expected the rice to be warm, or at least lukewarm. Rice was cold and had a decent flavor. The coldness did mask the flavor to be more on the bland side. Leftovers (microwaved) lunch update: Microwaving leftover chicken is a skill to not make it rubbery. After warming up the leftovers so that chicken is still like "fresh" and the rice is warm, it tastes a lot better than what was served to me last night. Leftovers shouldn't taste better than the original servings.
