Hawker-Style Chicken Rice

Hainan Jones is a Singaporean stall in Dekalb Market Hall that recalls traditional hawker centres. Lean, tender Hainanese poached chicken comes over fragrant jasmine rice, with Nonya laksa and pork cutlet curry as alternatives. Portions are generous and presentation is no-frills food hall style.
