Need Clarification - Hainanese Chicken Rice from Singapore or Malaysia?

[Froggy]

Ok forget about the Wenchang Chicken rice from Hainan Island, visited before twice and both times hated it, bloody rice tastes like normal white rice, chicken asl not fragrant. Eaten Thai and Malaysian both I insists cannot make it. However my Malaysian friends up north always insists Hainanese Chicken Rice is from Malaysia.

Anyone here have any historical information?

See how beautiful our Chicken Rice is

From Hainan Island...where did they come from? Canton?

From Hainan.

Anyway who cares? Malaysia and Singapore were once one happy family.

P.S: Is that the Mei Ling Food Centre chicken rice? Looks familiar.

Kns you cannot read is it? I already say don't mention Wenchang Chicken. Tastes so bland, surely our SEAsia chicken rice is not the same thing as Hainan Island's wenchang jifan

I much prefer the Cantonese style chicken rice served here ...where chicken is not fully cooked. The risk is food poisoning if the chicken is left out there for too long as bacteria grows.

it might have originated in malaya back in the old colonial days, but sinkiecity has perfected it and made it famous on the global stage. it's like laksa. the original laksa has tamarind in it, and it is influenced by siamese spices and cooking, much like penang laksa is today. but sinkieland evolved it to coconut curry flavor without the sour taste in it, and created mee siam bo hum as an equivalent of the original laksa. the sinkie hainanese chicken rice is better than the ml version, due to constant competition and evolution to be the best, much like the pap. :p

I found the colours of the plates and table familiar, that's all. Stall near the corner, wide spacious seating area with a balcony view, right?

Don't understand why they need to occupy two stalls' space.

chickens before they are boiled need room to flap their wings. :p

Pure Cantonese style is soy sauce chicken, found at Level 2 of the hawker centre in Chinatown Complex. Super long queue everytime.

Guess they are use to the extra space like the old days in Margaret Drive

What kind of chicken are you referring to?

The best meal, to me, is Cantonese chicken and Hainanese roasted shobak (with kiamchye).

not true, cantonese do have boiled chicken, served in a milder sauce and plain white rice. when my old man still around, he often make it. A good example will be soup restaurant samsui chicken. 白切鸡 read in cantonese make more sense that mandarin.

i seldom eat chicken rice in malaysia despite being there so many time. the best i ever ate in malaysia was in penang, a stall in the kopitaim next to the hotel. bloody good business, need to wait half an hour for it. at KL, only ate the cantonese 白切鸡 together with steam fish head in ginger at the shop/stall next to the famous bak tut teh(which i never try). as for who invent the the current hainanese version, no idea, not really important as it was still call Malaya when the version was invented.

20 years ago, there maybe singapore version but the influx of jiuhukia into spore f&b industy grew so large, most the food currently served are either water down version or malaysia version as not many singaporean hawker children take over the business. if u ask me, i honestly think the hawker food i ate as a kid taste much better than the current crap dished out at the current food centre or coffeeshop.
