I thought I'll share about Ya Kon down at Purvis street.
I'm pretty sure many foodies would have known abt this lovely place
( I'm assuming)
and a part of me wanted very much to keep this place a secret and pretend that everyone else know about it.
But anyhows, here goes:
you'll love this place.
When I first step through the door,
I really thought I step back in time.
( sth like narnia)
everyone was speaking in hainanese
we were there for the chicken rice,
but quickly decided on the steamboat too!
ps: the menu has no pricing, they'll just proportion everything according to the number of people and then charge you accordingly.
The chicken rice is really fragrant
and the chicken reminded mevery much of grandpa, and how I use to squat beside him as he chop the chicken, pleading for a drumstick.
You see, the hainanese typed chicken is different from that of the cantonese.
There's less oil and seasoning ,
Cantonese type chicken rice has more seasame oil.
We paid $33.60 for the meal, including a barley.
it's comparable to that of golden mile.
just that the service is less welcoming.
they are perpetually stony-faced no matter how enthusiastic you are in engaging them.
and they don serve you hainanese tea during the peak hours at night.
( only the boss get to drink)
ps: chicken is sold out by 8.30, so yeah,
do come early to avoid disappointment.
on a side note,
to reward yourself for putting up with the stony faces,
Hope down to Jai Thai for awesome
mango sticky rice! ( just next door)
till then,
love
S.
