This was a regular order with the drumstick. I don't remember the exact price but it was around $5-$7 (or less). It was definitely served elegantly considering the restaurant was not super fancy...in fact it was a regular "hk tea restaurant". I've ordered this plate in multiple Malaysian restaurants around NYC and they have never disappointed me, not once, until last sunday. Let me help them advertise a little, this was the restaurant we visited:

Brooklyn, NY 11220
I've walked passed this place more times than i can remember and i've always wanted to go in but just never did (should've probably stayed that way for the better). So we placed our orders and to my surprise, this is what they brought out...
Count it, it was 4 pieces of chicken (regular cuts) but 3 pieces were sliced in half to create an illusion that were are 7 pieces. This cut was the lower thigh area so it was mostly bones, usually i don't mind getting this because i'm not a picky eater...however, the 4 pieces mixed in with salty soy sauce was just a bad combination. As for the 'oil rice' it was very soggy, felt like the rice was cooked with too much water. This order cost $4.50. I was hungry (3pm lunch) so i finished most of it anyway! =P This woody place will return to being a passer by restaurant and i'll please my Hainanese chicken cravings else where.
