Who's got the solution to cold snaps and tentative tummies? This Gai. The tender Hainan-style poached chicken here is free-range and antibiotic-free, accompanied by jasmine or brown rice cooked in chicken broth, with sweet-and-sour cucumbers and your choice of gingery Hainan, tangy Vietnamese, Thai soy or housemade habanero sauces. Soulful soup gets you back on your feet; sweetened Vietnamese coffee gets you Castro-club-hopping.
