Flock & Fowl

With origins in China, Singapore and Malaysia, Hainanese chicken rice, the centerpiece dish of this petite lunch joint from Fat Choy’s Sheridan Su, isn’t for purists. But it what it lacks in strict Chinese-ness, it makes up for in simplicity and flavor: poached free range chicken served with rice cooked with chicken fat, marinated cucumbers and a trio of homemade dipping sauces. If that doesn’t sound like much, don’t worry. This is international comfort food that connects right from the first bite.
