Really enjoyed this one; probably the best alternative to Soup Restaurant's version if you are craving for something similar but don't have the people around to share a communal plate of Samsui Chicken — this does satisfy those looking for a single portion.

Similar to the Assam Chicken, the Samsui Chicken comes with a thigh and leg for a single portion. The chicken is also very succulent, juicy and tender here, while it comes with a hint of slight sweetness from the liquid it was simmered in; the ginger however doesn't pull through very strongly, but somehow runs at the back of the tongue amidst the sweetness. It works well with their house-made chili (not pictured) which one can help themselves to at the condiment counter — bright, tangy Hainanese Chicken Rice chili that really gives a spicy kick.
