Got the chance to try out Tai Loke Hainan Chicken Rice given how the places in the area were seemingly filled post-CNY and that there was still some seats available at this coffee shop. In all honesty, the rice and chili do not really seem to be the main focus here; the former being on the edge of being a little mushy and could have been more flavourful, while the latter just lacked that punchy tang from calamansi. That being said, the chicken was pretty succulent and tender; thoughtfully de-boned and silky smooth — all drenched in that lightly savoury soy sauce which provides just enough flavour.
