The Hainanese Chicken at Soup Restaurant is very good, especially the ginger and garlic sauce it is served with!
It is more a place for traditional Chinese herbal soups cooked in earthenware pots, but the rest of the food is good too. Nowadays, it has become a chain with outlets in many smaller local shopping malls.
The main restaurant is at Scotts Road, not the one we went to.

- www.foodtourist.com/FTGuide/Content/I425.htm The Samsui women were poverty stricken inner-city dwellers who subsisted on a meagre diet. Once a year, however, during the Chinese New Year they would prepare a feast based on chicken served with ginger sauce. This is now one of the most popular dishes served at the Soup Kitchen in both Smith Street in Chinatown and at the newer Seah Street outlet (in the small street that is nestled in behind Raffles Hotel).
The Samsui chicken is served on a large white plate centred by a bowl of roughly minced ginger sauce. Surrounding the bowl are pieces of boneless (although it has been cooked on the bone), perfectly cooked white chicken in the Hainan style. Surrounding this again is a ring of sliced cucumber. On a small plate to the side there a pile of lettuce leaves. You pick up a lettuce leaf, place some chicken and cucumber in it top it with some ginger sauce and then delight in the harmonious flavours that await. This is not just a good dish - this is a great dish!
- Soup Restaurant - Time Out Singapore There are several outlets, but it’s hard to beat the one on Scotts Road for its kitsch interiors, modelled after a traditional Chinese home. These are almost unnecessary distractions from the very good menu stuffed with comfort food. Bestsellers are the intensely flavoured double-boiled herbal soups.
