replying to u/sallire: My favorite is at Lou Yau Kee, which recently moved to the food hall just north of Grand Central Terminal (my friends think their roasted version is better, I usually get both)

replying to u/SmoothLester: Since you said steamed, it’s not Hainanese Chicken, but you can get a similar poached chicken set at Hainan Jones in Urban Hawker (50th, between 6th & 7th).
“Can also get one on 44th and Vanderbilt at Lou Yau Kee”

“I AM OBSESSED with the hainanese chicken rice at Lou Yau Kee. It was started by the son of a guy who founded a famous chicken rice restaurant in Singapore, and it’s so authentic and delicious and savory omg I could eat it every single lunch of my life and not be tired of it.”

replying to u/Malsperanza: This is the only Malaysian place I know in Chinatown and it is fantastic. OP's photos of other places look great; sure wish I had the names. There used to be a delicious, cheap little spot in my neighborhood named Malaysian Grill. Unfortunately, the reason it was cheap was that they were massively ripping off their workers, who picketed it and it closed.
