This place was reported as a famous venue servicing Thai-style Hainan Chicken Rice.
Checked in again during the busy lunch time - no one could really pay much attention to you. The attitude was a bit rude while the restaurant was far too busy. The lady that was serving the hainan chicken came out to order for us.
Ordered the hainan chicken and the leg section. The rice was not done well, the chicken they used must be frozen chicken, no fresh taste The soup did not come with the rice, you would have to chase and ask for it. The other places may have done better than this one. Don't think I would recommend my friends to visit. It was not good as before.

一直都係為海南雞飯而來...
$53 海南雞脾飯, 幾抵...最喜歡個辣的薑蓉...好好味..

可惜, 今日再去, 都未係lunch hour....係咁趕人坐呢度, 坐坐吓又轉位, 叫極都唔肯比水...

嗰度d人, 一向只對有知名度的人態度好, 好親切~ 對其他食客係咁啦...我都係想快快食完個飯....

今日專登介紹朋友來吃, 除了海南雞, 再叫了冬陰大虾炒意粉, 青咖哩牛腩, 紅咖哩魚...

勁失望..

收得$48 個茶餐廳set lunch就認真d....個咖哩真係好差, 似水, 又似汁, 又唔夠味...個牛腩硬到咩咁, 又唔入味...
個魚係炸魚塊, 又比d汁浸到好林...所以唔好食..
個冬陰大虾炒意粉
有冇攪錯 ?成$50!! 係d細雪虾, 好難食...個冬陰又係水...d味唔酸唔辣...結果, 碟嘢冇人肯食...

講返我大讚的海南雞, 係咪因為十二點仲早 ??
個飯好濕...平時食都乾...
而個雞, 有骨!仲有血水出

同行朋友問我點解平時咁好介紹, 今次咁錯 ?

最離譜係未食曬, 狂收碟...又冇人等!!

d侍應一律黑口黑面, 要杯水, 問4次至比.....

真係咁大少爺..就唔好做啦...唔會再去啦~

食左佢出名既海南雞飯...但水準令人失望...叫了雞脾 但什無雞味...而且份量少得可憐..
飯還可以...
令外叫了焗鴛鴦扒飯...一開始見賣相ok 還什有期望 點知...d豬扒雞扒好鹹.....個底仲好似過焦... 失望極..

令外order 好趕...一坐咩都未睇就叫你落單...仲有叫完野食佢問要唔要野飲...我地以為係餐飲個d,....點知原來係計正價...不過都算 當自己唔小心...

點都好應該冇下次

舊同學約左黎呢道食晚飯, 初頭以為跑馬地會好貴, 黎到價錢都ok啦! 餐廳四面都貼晒多位明星的簽名poster, 加上有電視睇tvb~ 講翻野食, d海南雞飯好好味,唔會太肥, 又唔會 "孩", very good~! 人唔算多唔會嘈

1) 海南雞飯 - 轉脾 (hk$58)
-轉脾位,要+hk$5
-雞都幾滑,調味夠,不過雞味都喺好微薄

-個汁酸酸哋帶少辣,味道也不錯
-伴以清清的冬瓜水,反而好有冬瓜味喎
-整體味道未見出色

2) 海南雞飯 (hk$53)

-其他意見大致如上

3) 炸蝦餅 (hk$38)
-個吉列表面炸得好鬆脆

6) 凍菜蜜 (hk$15)
-友人話甜咗d

* 2個友人都話唔洗再嚟

濶別大少爺剛好三個月, 今天剛啱途經跑馬地午飯, 再嚟試試其他菜式...
又係正午到來, 得一枱客, 今日落雨天比較冷清, 也好, 我和同事亦可食得舒適d.
午餐除咗海南雞飯以外, 其他選擇也不多, 泰式青, 紅, 黃咖哩可自由配搭牛腩, 雞肉, 豬或炸魚, 我們也不作多想, 一人選了一個咖哩.
泰式青咖哩牛腩飯 - 青咖哩色澤有點淡, 味道只帶甜不辣, 也不夠香. 內有薯仔數舊, 是炸過的, 倒算有心. 但牛腩就出事了韌到用匙羹也差唔開, 勁唔掂! 剩白飯的碟崩了一角, 極倒胃口! 同事叫嘅紅咖哩炸魚飯, 看落賣相不俗, 紅咖哩本身應是最辣的, 但這碟卻只是顏色上上了紅色, 味道同樣偏甜不辣, 攪笑嗎? 炸魚更差! 入口只吃到硬轟轟的炸粉, 佢食咗半碟就放棄了!
真唔明白點解d牛腩煮得咁韌咁差, 佢仲有信心出俾人食? 還要收成$48一個午餐, 除咗呃錢這個理由之外, 我想唔到其他了!
以後也不敢再來了....

I have always been of the belief that, if a piano player other than the original composer is given the exact same concerto piece - we will still be able to pick up and experience subtle minuit differences between each individual's interpretation of a musical piece. It might just vary enough, according to the emotional state of the said player as well as their life encounters and experiences

I previously had a pretty good, Thai-style Hainanese Chicken dish at 勝利小廚 in North Point. So what of the equally famed dish at this Happy Valley shop, also orchestrated as a Thai-Asian version rather than the original Hainanese or Singaporean variety?

***********************************

Hainanese Chicken with Rice Set:

This was actually very enjoyable in a sense yet surprisingly it carried a different 'feel' altogether with my experience at other shops. Here, the 'poached' Chicken is also very good indeed. Silkily velvety soft in texture, its actually better than the one served in Northpoint's 勝利小廚 - texture wise at least. On a comparison of the flavouring components, I was surprised how 'naturally' tasting the chicken meat was here when finally served to me.

It also encompasses a great chicken taste too and I really liked it, although on the other hand it was missing the herbal influence from the medicinal soup of which it was cooked in.

If you really enjoy chicken that's intact with its original flavouring but nothing else, then you would love here definitely. Personally, I'm rather undecided at this stage, as I've always thought that the idea of doing the Hainanese Chicken is when it manages to inherit a bit of its cooking broth's taste in an 'exotic' kind of way, rather than it being purely a Chicken only experience. Perhaps that type of chicken taste expectation is best reserved for steaming or hot water cooking methods, which remains loyal to its original chicken taste profile, aka Cantonese style cooked chickens.

I certainly have no complaints here when that's taken into account, since as said previously I haven't settled on one way or another. I just wished that the Chicken skin here can be slightly more flavoursome and not so thick and soft. Perhaps it coud benefit with a longer dip or two in an ice-bath to tighten the skins and make it a bit more 'crunchier'!

The soup here is also quite good indeed without much MSG influence, the sweetness of winter melon and chicken broth working like they have always belonged and meant to be together forever.

So what of the Chicken Rice, you ask? ITS REALLY QUITE GOOD. Even if it probably isn't the best in the world on a relative basis, the shop has done a stellar effort in making it slightly 'aromatic', as well as carrying a slight chicken broth taste as well as a yellowish chicken/garlicky oily coating. I would be nit-picking to make a complaint but certainly this dish could still have room for improvement still, it still needed more flavouring plus it was slightly too soft on this occasion. Having said that, the 'rice' equation of the experience is heaps and bounds better than the rice at 勝利小廚 - despite that having a slightly better chicken.

- CHICKEN = '4.5'
- CHICKEN RICE = '4.0'

I just wished..... that they could carry a better dipping sauce and wouldn't mind a caramelized soy-sauce for the customer to use, inorder to enhance the whole experience. And the chicken could be served a bit warmer as well. If anyone knows a better Hainanese chicken - I would love to hear about it as I haven't really researched on this too much!

在開飯搜尋有乜好食, 發現跑馬地區內這間的食評不俗, 大少爺的我今天又孤零零一個人午飯, 連忙開車去試吓!
中午＋二點幾, 一入店內, 只有兩三枱客, 時間尚早. 店內裝修得頗時尚, 燈光柔和, 倒不像一間荼餐廳, 店內牆上貼了多張歌星簽名的海報, 又是一間明星常來幫趁的食店, 不出奇啊, 這裏是快活谷喎!
不太熱誠的侍應叫我隨便坐埋一邊, 荼水也沒給我一杯! 枱上不太吸引的餐牌也沒有什麽好介紹, 乾脆向侍應叫個海南雞飯吧! 侍應隨即問我要唔要加$轉肶, 我想今天還不要食得咁豪吧! 侍應轉頭就把餐具放下給我, 膠匙羹邊有d崩, 心想: 唔係吖嗎? 不一會清湯也送上來了, 呷一口, 高清得好淡! 很快主角也來了:
海南雞飯 - 大大的方碟, 載住足有一碗的油飯, 油飯不算太香, 去了骨的雞件份量也不少, 但食落未有想像中滑, 尤其是雞胸那倍份, 有點鞋. 這太慨是雖要加$轉肶的原因! 醬汁味道還可以, 辣味十足!
總括嚟講係ok嘅, 價錢比市區貴40%, 因雞的份量相對也比一般嘅多咗d. 但還未稱得上是全港最好!

大約係年半前食過佢既海南雞飯, 那次是有朋友生完 bb , 我地去醫院睇bb, 正直係晚飯時間, 友人買外賣係醫院食, 印象係...海南雞好滑, d 飯唔算好油, 最出色係個汁...不過食完都唔知係邊間既出品....

年半後, bb 已經歲半...又係探完bb, 本來想去淺水灣食lunch, 點知因裝修, 得一間餐廳開不過食自助餐, 大家都無咩興趣最後佢地提議出跑馬地食海南雞飯....大少爺...個名好陌生...基本上都有去開跑馬地搵食....但竟然未聽過lee個名....緊係贊成去啦...

入到去....見到有車仔麵,又有海南雞飯, 友人話2個都好食, 但因男友決定叫海南雞肶飯, 我想可以食佢果d, 咁就唔洗2個都食....男友個雞飯黎左, 邊食邊傾, 佢地先講起上次係醫院食既海南雞飯就係大少爺出品 我好失望, 因為自己已經叫左車仔麵......望住男友食, 好彩我唔多鍾意食雞肶如果唔係一定用"港女" 既特權同佢掉換食 最後食左一口飯一舊雞

事間2星期...心有不甘既我...今日瞓醒覺第一時間想起......好想食海南雞飯, 可惜男友忽然話同佢屋企人飲茶 我基本上通常都會話好...不過今日我say no...男友問點解, 我就同佢講我既故事...佢都好明白我通常食咩都無所謂,但想食起上黎都好有堅持....最終緊係去左啦

一坐底, 好快就有方向食咩....最後叫左半隻海南雞 + 2碗油飯 + 1杯熱檸水

飯未黎, 相機已經準備好

雞黎啦....男友拿起筷子想夾...比我喝住...因為要影相麻...影完...開餐啦

半隻雞, 份量好多好足....佢夾肶...我夾胸... 返黎啦....果種感覺返黎啦....雞胸都好好好滑....個汁好好味...佢個汁係泰式汁....小小辣....再食啖飯....飯雞汁都係配合 不過個飯今日有d 濕...林左小小...不過都ok, 個雞同個汁可以彌補個飯既不足....

食完好飯....男友去銀行提款....我就企係出面等....."好滿足" lee 3個字就係個腦海中出現....

一直都探尋好吃的海南雞，因為這道看似簡單的項目，很多茶餐廳、星馬店子及甚至酒店也做，但其實也不是很多地方做得好，什麼五星酒店的尚且不談，因為好像覺得入酒店吃海南雞飯，總是有點不值得的，所以也正正是為何要尋尋覓覓的原因了。

來到這家評語不錯的茶餐廳，一心當然是想吃其海南雞，剛進門口，已見廚房中有大量的熟雞了，看起來也不錯，究竟好吃與否，吃過才知。

和女友來到，甫坐下，也不用想太多，一於來一個海南雞飯，雞飯連例湯，今天的是菜乾湯，而另外也不費神了，點了在Today’s Special中的太極鴛鴦炒飯，送熱飲，由於有點感冒，所以點了熱薑蜜。

坐着坐着，也望四周的環境，周圍也貼滿明星的簽名海報，心想此兒必是明星飯堂，但今天見不到明星。

先來的是一碗菜乾湯，以菜乾煲湯，不難好喝，以濃甜見稱，今天的也都真是很濃，而且是濃得有點過份，而甜味也好像來得不自然，真的很懷疑店家下了什麼來煲。

再來是主角海南雞飯，也聽了惡男的食評所言，加五元轉脾，這裡的海南雞飯是泰式來的，雞飯不是以很重的油份來泡製的，只是輕輕的雞味而已，個人來說喜歡星馬式的油飯，而配套的醬汁也不是三式醬，而是泰式辣汁而已，點雞也是惹味的，而主角當然是那雞脾，雞肉相當嫩滑，也有雞味，雞皮下的脂肪也不是很多的，但雞皮連肉吃卻是好吃得很，甘腴美味，真乃人間極品也。

另外的太極鴛鴦炒飯是普通不過的，普通一間酒樓，甚至快餐店也可能會比它好，紅白汁都是重手的茨汁構成，杰杰的，口感不好，而白汁味淡，無忌廉香，而茄汁也是一味的甜，完全沒有鮮茄味，但蝦及雞肉也尚可，也為了填肚，最後也將它幹掉。

熱薑蜜不錯的，有薑味，甜度也剛好，喝過後喉嚨也很舒暢呢！

今天嘗了這兒的海南雞後，覺得是可以暫且代替好時沙嗲的，但畢竟那裡的油飯，仍然是比這裡的好，這兒的海南雞飯，是雞好而飯不好的。

是日太座再與朋友J到跑馬地一帶睇樓，今次仲加埋朋友V同行。睇樓活動完畢之後，V提議到此店試吓呢度馳名嘅海南雞。除咗叫了半隻海南雞之外，還點了豆腐斑腩煲、土魷蒸肉餅及泰式肉碎炒通菜。

聞說這裡嘅海南雞被譽為全港最好食的，網上評論亦褒多貶少，筆者嘅體驗有少少出入。雞肉係全去骨，所揀選嘅雞唔肥，皮夠晒薄，不會有肥膩感。雞腿嘅肉質當然嫩滑，不過雞胸肉就比較鞋身。筆者亦觀察到網上討論話海南雞用浸製法煮，所以雞味已浸去。不過筆者曾經在印尼街邊檔食過有雞味嘅海南雞，同樣做到皮薄肉嫩，想是雞嘅本質吧。話說回來，這裡嘅雞油飯是十分出色的，飯粒粒金黃，入口即能輕易感受到雞油香味，不過飯粒唔夠乾身，略嫌美中不足。

豆腐斑腩煲味道偏鹹，不過無論火腩或斑腩都十分入味。包圍著斑腩嘅麵粉比較厚，薄一點比較好。蒸肉餅用料十分豐富，除了魷魚粒之外，還有冬菇粒，而且唔係寥寥數粒敷衍了事。不過肉餅本身比較硬身，靚嘅蒸肉餅應該一「篤」就開。而且肉餅顏色太白，雖然唔會影響味道，但觀感上遜色一點。炒通菜有點喜出望外，最初以為會很油膩，但出嚟嘅效果反而唔係油淋淋，菜亦炒得比想像中清爽。

前文雖然讚多彈少，不過用膳完畢之後筆者皮膚出現大面積紅疹，太座亦感到十分口乾，相信係廚師用咗不少味精。原本想俾笑面，因此理由要降低評價了。

半隻海南雞九十蚊，其他小菜每樣五十八蚊，共銀二百七十六蚊。

平日總喜歡在 Openrice search 食店，無聊的找遍全港九十八區，事實也蠻有用的，好像今日興致勃勃走到去跑馬地，一心想食昌記的厚麥油砂多，那想到星期六的下午兩點已沒有通粉或厚多士供應，敗興而返，正感茫然之際突然想起一眾名食家介紹的大少爺海南雞飯，只是在黃竹坑街市對面，機緣巧合，便進去一試吧！

想不到茶餐廳的裝修竟這麼光鮮，四周鋪滿了明星簽名海報，黎明、衛蘭、霆鋒、Eason、Twins 等，看來都是熟客仔。看看餐牌，選擇甚多，價錢則略比市面的貴，始終跑馬地地價昂貴，這一點可以理解。最後選了馳名的泰式海南雞飯及常餐，包括蕃茄肉片通粉、火腿奄列及熱奶茶。

先說我的泰式海南雞飯，沒有加五蚊要雞脾，幸雞肉也相當嫩滑，雖然明顯是冰鮮雞，但點上惹味泰式辣醬後彌補了一般雞味不足的問題，雞油飯味道不俗，可惜煲得太淋身，略嫌未達到粒粒分明的境界，但論水準，絕對在什麼 "泰國人白切雞" 之上，例湯是南北杏豬骨菜湯，味道十分濃郁，很是不錯。

常餐方面，蕃茄湯底比較稍薄，幸配上鮮茄肉及滑溜肉片，味道還可；火腿奄列的蛋煎得很薄，但只是外表較美觀外，味道並不突出。值得一提，今天順手於永祥燒味買了廿蚊叉燒臨時在茶記加餸，味道好像比大少爺的海南雞或常餐食物更好。考慮到大少爺的環境頗為舒適，值得給一個笑面呢！

都唔知係第幾次食呢間餐廳, 新出嘅古法羊腩煲, 好味!!!
我同朋友叫左海南雞飯, 古法羊腩煲, 同炒左個菜. 出其地個古法羊腩煲唔錯喎.
D羊腩好"ying ngun", 入面d冬菇, 枝竹, 馬蹄都好好味, 俾我食哂!
見到仲有枝竹羊腩炆依麵, 下次叫外賣再試下先

Quite an interesting char charn ting, tucked away in a side street in Happy Valley. Not sure if I would ever go to this place if not for the need of visiting some unfortunate friend who was admitted to the private hospital nearby for an operation. Not exactly an easy place to find though - apparently even some taxi drivers do not know the place.

The decor is typically what you would expect from a char charn ting, but the seating is reasonably comfortable and the hygienic condition acceptable. One interesting point about the decoration is the celebrity posters (with signatures) on the walls which give a rather nostalgic feel to the place ... ... don't ask me why, especially since all the celebrities are of the younger generation and mostly from one entertainment company only ... ...

Of course, one has to order the signature dish when you visit this place - Hainan chicken leg with rice (you need to ask for chicken leg, which costs an extra $5). The chicken texture is very tender with the bones already removed, the oil rice is fine but not superb, but the main draw turned out to be the sauce - spicy and hot, and a perfect match with the chicken ! I had no difficulty finishing the whole dish of rice. My wife ordered a steamed mullet which was fine. And don't forget to order the soup of the day as well - very nice, not like the usual stuff with lots of MSG ... ... a real added treat.

Of course the price is not cheap, but considering the food and the location, it is worth it. Not the most outstanding Hainan chicken I have tried but certainly a cut above the average. Well worth a visit.

One side line - while we were settling the bill we had a a quick chat with the manager. When he learned that we were first-time comers, he looked a bit surprised and asked about our opinion of the food. Then he asked whether I read Open Rice and urged me to do so ! Apparently OR is gaining popularity these days and I think many store owners, if they are smart enough, will read about the comments on their own stores here. So, to the owner of 大少爺, bravo and keep up the good work !

住係跑馬地咁耐,食嚟食去都係差不多嘅嘢. 大少爺算係食得最多, 海南雞出哂名. 而加仲多左小菜同燉湯. 小菜都幾多選擇, 20幾款. 燉湯係我而家每次必叫, 因為真係好唔錯. 啲湯好夠料, 又夠火喉, 日日都唔同. 對於我呢啲無屋企人照顧嘅後生女, 真係一個好恩惠. 但係啲侍應態度真係唔好, 好似好惡咁. 所以有時寧願叫外賣. 唔該真係要改進吓!!!
