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).
“Hainan Jones was great though, even if it's a bit pricey at $20 a set.”

replying to u/AvatarofBro: I don’t think Urban Hawker is more expensive than the stalls at Pier 57. It’s been pretty reasonable every time I’ve gone. I’d rather pay $16 for a Hainanese chicken bowl there than $17 for a Sweetgreen salad or something.
“I feel like Nyonya taste better than Hainan Jones and have larger chickens as well.”

“Speaking as a Malaysian- great spot! Eat their roasted chicken rice at least once a week. Their chicken congee / laksa is also really good.”

replying to u/crazeman: You can try checking out [Lou Yau Kee by Union Square](https://maps.app.goo.gl/j63rwRPXZo6KjmZz7). [According to Eater](https://ny.eater.com/2023/10/13/23889283/lou-yau-kee-hainan-chicken-rice-singapore-urban-hawker-food-hall), it's made by the same master chef that trained the Hainan Jones crew at Urban Hawker. It's still like \~$19 for a large and \~$16 for a regular though.
“something about the chicken and rice there is always unbalanced to me.”

replying to u/twotoasters: It’s been a while since I had this but I ate there yesterday and it was unbearably salty. I was so sad
“Too salty is why I can’t recommend Hainan Jones…”

“I’ve been eating the combo(poached and roasted) mix for the past month or so , it’s seriously good”
