Well, thanks to @klyeoh and @Phoenikia , I finally tried a restaurant recommended here on HO !
@Phoenikia had posted this link for me:
of restaurants in Penang/George Town offering exceptional Hainanese Chicken Rice. I chose the one that Peter (@klyeoh) seemed to like best Sri Bahari Hainan Chicken Rice. I ordered a chicken breast with a small bowl of rice. The owner is a lovely and kind lady who beckoned me to the counter to order (I thought someone would come to take my order!) The chicken came with a very basic, but flavorful bowl of chicken soup, a few slices of cucumbers and a dish of a somewhat spicy sauce (thankfully it wasn’t too spicy for me!) The chicken was so moist and tender and there was no sight of the dreaded cilantro/coriander anywhere like there was in Thailand!
Though I had trouble finding the place and had almost given up, I’m glad I persevered and asked some people on the street who pointed the place out to me (there’s no sign with the name!)
The order should have cost RM 8.20/USD $1.77, but for some reason unbeknownst to me, she only charged me RM 7/USD $1.50 ! (And yes, I did question it, but she said RM 7 was the right amount.)
Thanks again @Phoenikia and @klyeoh for helping me find such excellent Hainanese Chicken Rice!
