Would a group of 8 be too large to eat here? Or is 6 the sweet spot, bearing in mind the APL style ribs will be ordered.
haven’t been to apotheke
Fam…
Not at all. You’ll want to get the ribs, the boiled chicken, and try as much as you can.

Ever get the feeling that the kitchen staff is staring at you but then realize they’re really looking at jonathan gold sitting behind you? #askingforafriend
the beltless belly
malibu cherry tomatoes, tofu, shiso, yuzu
chang’s version of a caprese salad, sub mozzarella for soft tofu, basil for shiso, and olive oil for soy sauce and sesame oil. very good.
foie gras, strawberry, ricotta
very similar to the momofuku ko’s frozen foie gras with lychee and pine nut brittle. i preferred the texture contrast of the brittle at ko.
fried butterball potatoes, salsa seca, peanuts, chili
boiled whole chicken
hot, moist, and ready to eat
breasts, rice, fermented black bean chile sauce, ginger-scallion
The breasts were moister than betty white at a barry manilow concert. I think the rice had more schmaltz than a hallmark store. ask for extra sauce
truffles, hand-torn noodles
you definitely get the whole chicken
strawberry trifle, buttermilk panna cotta, chiffon cake

Is that a plain bing?
It came with the foie
As with all things Majordomo, there’s been a lot of talk about the price of the chicken. For what you got, did you think the price was reasonable? It looks pretty great.
Oh, the hand torn noodles + truffles + chicken looks divine…

For sure. It’s not like Nomad where you’re wondering where the rest of the chicken went.
hm. Side Chick, Red Chicken, Cluck2go, Tasty food, Dong Nguyen, Full House take out. No particular order. Different styles for different wants. I’m going to be next to Taishi tomorow, so gonna try that for the first time.
Outside of LA… prob Wee Nam Kee and Tian Tian in Singapore. I forget the name of a stall I had chicken rice in Chiang Mai but it was excellent.
Not a fan of Savoy?
If you think of it as two courses that can feed 2 - 3 people, I think it was reasonable. the chicken was very good, but for me i would get the ribs over the chicken any day of the week including holidays.

Are truffles a supplement? Because I want truffles on everything. Isn’t black truffle season over? How were they?
the truffles come with the chicken, i believe the truffles are used in the soup after they serve the cut up chicken and rice. i think that’s why it costs $80
Hi @Bookwich,
You definitely don’t want the black truffles on the macaroni and chickpea dish here. It was the worst dish we tried on the menu and the one major disappointment (and waste of money at $50 with zero truffle taste).
Consistent with the tastes of the Infatuation website, they rated the macaroni dish as the best dish on the entire menu. Haha. Granted their reviewer ate on a different night, but still.
Was in the house tonight again.
I would throw in the original Phoenix Kitchen in Chinatown. its not Hainan chicken but they do the classic Cantonese “white-cut” chicken and its one of the best versions I’ve had.
