"Essex Market has a lot of stalls to choose from but Eat Gai is one of our go-to favorite. We love ordering their Pineapple chicken. It's a Hat Yai Southern Thai Fried chicken with pineapple ginger rice served in pineapple shell! The presentation is so cute. The chicken was crispy and juicy, seasoned to perfection with a blend of spices. The pineapple pieces in the ginger rice is a perfect complement, adding a burst of sweetness from the pineapple and a hint of ginger.

Their Hainan Chicken looks really good on Yelp but it turned out to be a great disappointment. Chicken is way too over cooked, tasted like rubber and the rice is soggy, the whole chicken over rice is a disaster.Don't!!!

I absolutely love Hainanese chicken, so I was excited to see that Essex Market had Eat Gai as a food vendor. I made a beeline to Eat Gai as I walked into the market.I got Eat Gai's original order, which comes with Hainanese chicken, chicken flavored rice, three kinds of sauces, and melon soup. I wanted to love this place so much but my chicken was so dry that not even the sauces did much. And where is all the chicken skin? And my rice did not have much flavor, which was also surprising because I thought the very yellow color would indicate a strong chicken flavor. I did really enjoy the soup though, that was probably the only thing I enjoyed about my $12.50 meal. Very disappointing.Still, I...
