Cinta-J Restaurant & Lounge

I’m a professional HaloHalo taster and Cinta-​J has the best !!
Actually everything I’ve had here is great … I like their Bicol Express, lumpani and pancet… it’s all good and they have some great performers /​singers and musicians to entertain … I love this place

Fans of Hainan Chicken rice– your prayers have been answered and thou shalt make your way across to the promised land– Cinta in Wanchai.
I have always known this place in the past as an avid pub crawler and given the number of bars in the district it has never really caught my eye as such. It had the usual set-​ups: a live band, really uncomfortable chairs and just a lot of girls around (you know what I mean).
If you look closer though– this place is a bar with a twist. Its a super busy restaurant during day time and in fact I could say that its probably busier during the day when queues wrap around the corner and phone bookings have to be made well in advance. The seating arrangement is a «tight fit» and you better be chummy to the person next to you as that’s all the space you will be getting.
However, all the people come here for the Indonesian and Asian offering have made the right choice. Especially the Hainan Chicken rice. Not quite sure what chicken they use or how they cook it but dare I say it– its the best in town hands down. Tender chicken pieces (you have to pay extra for boneless) with the fragrant rice cooked in chicken oil is just heavenly. You get a full set for around ⁶⁰⁄₇₀ HKD which I find to be a fair deal.
Anything else I’d like to add? Don’t order a la carte because it just doesn’t do this restaurant justice– go for what everyone else goes for.
