Came across 泰皇雞 (English name: Thai King Chicken) on a day trip to this area. There were quite a few people there and we were hungry so we decided to give it a try. It's mostly take away though they have a decently spaced seating area in the back.Menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge.

I decided to get the Hainan chicken rice ($53). Everything was served in easily disposable containers.
There was a lot of rice. Rice was ok. Not too oily with a nice fragance to it. The portion of chicken was a lot. It was not flavoured but at least the meat was tender. Skin not too fat.
The set came with a bowl of soup. This was a basic chicken broth with a piece of daikon in it. Not a lot of flavour but at least hot.
We added a deep fried shrimp cakes ($32) as an appetizer to share. These were quite good. Firm texture. Lots of shrimp taste. It came with a spicy sweet Thai dipping sauce.
For an additional $8, you can add on a coconut milk which boyfriend did. The coconut milk was not too good. It was watered down and they added ice to make it even more watered down.
Boyfriend had the Thai Style Braissed Pork Belly ($53). Again a lot of rice. The pork belly was quite good. Lots of braising sauce was added and it was packed with flavour. The belly literally melted in your mouth so you didn't even need to chew.
Doubt we'd be back but the food was decent enough with good size portions. Service was extremely slow though. We waited quite a long time for our food to be served.
