Hail the Conquering Chicken
Hainan (Chicken) Rice in Alhambra
Down the street is Savoy, a Singaporean place whose menus are decorated with what looks like an old photograph of the Bay of Naples, and which serves gooey Italian pasta and its namesake Margherite of Savoy pizza to every spike-haired dude who’s ever screeched his BMW into your parking space at a dim sum restaurant. You could, if you wished, try a chicken curry that splits the difference between Malaysian curries and the packaged Japanese stuff you pick up at Mitsuwa, or a steak blanketed with an industrial concentration of black pepper. The Hainan chicken rice, which is on four tables out of five, is firm at least, marked with ginger, served with the requisite three sauces, the miscellaneous slivers of bone-on boiled chicken — you have to pay two dollars extra for all dark meat — slack and slightly undercooked. Not bad, really. Undoubtedly, a taste of home.
Dong Nguyen: 1433 E. Valley Blvd., Alhambra, (626) 300-8618. Open for lunch and dinner Fri.-Wed. Closed Thursdays. Cash only. No alcohol. Takeout. Lot parking. Chicken rice, $6.50.
