If I remember correctly 金隆 is Singaporean food.  I tried it once one year ago but I barely remembered what I ate.  It could only mean that the dish is not standing out.

The Hainan chicken rice at this place is just average. For some reason, they always put some brown sauce on their Hainan chicken. I don't know if it is fish sauce or soy sauce. The chicken oil rice does not have enough chicken oil in it.  I suspect they just put some chicken powder or chicken broth. Most of their customers just buy take out from them.

they have survived many yrs, although i agree, their food don't stand out.

I found their chicken rice was okay.  Since Hainanese Chicken is easy to cook so it's nothing special to have good hainanese Chicken.  Many people use chicken powder for its rice chicken because it's easier to cook and do not need to waste so much rice if not enough customers.

Some  restaurants have been known to "recycle"  the pineapple shells
and fined by local public health inspectors.
I've seen restaurant recycle lobster shells for baked  lobster

when i was in highschool, I worked as a bus boy as a part-time.

I remember getting into trouble for NOT retaining the pineapple/honey melon shell.

since then I NEVER order that kind of dishes again.

(the restaurant  went out of business for years ... so don't ask me which one it was)

Thank you for verifying the fact, sir
otherwise someone is going to attack me as Chinese basher and fabricating fictions.
In fact, it is on the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority official website  for everyone.

That is why this restaurant is not that good. Authentic Hainan chicken rice requires the use of chicken oil to cook the rice. They need to retain the chicken oil from the cooking of the chicken, and then add the oil to the rice.

It is a little more complicated than that:
1. You start with a good chicken
2. Fry shallots, garlic and ginger in chicken fat, add rice and cook until rice turn translucent in
    colour, add chicken broth, pandan leaves, bring to boil
3. Turn down heat to minimum, simmer 20 minutes, remove pandan leaves, ginger, garlic
     and shallots, fluff with chopsticks.
Served with Kecap Manis(Thick and sweet soy sauce), grated ginger and Ginger flavoured Chili sauce.  Chicken, A bowl of broth and cucumber slices.
It is not very healthy, but very good for cold and wet weather.
