What makes your day?
For me, it can be the few simplest of things on Earth such as, kisses and cuddles from the boys or simply a message on the phone from a long lost friend just to say Hello. 2 months ago, on my birthday to be exact, it came in the form of an email from Bee, inviting me to do a guest post on her very well known and established food blog, Rasa Malaysia.
Bee Yinn Low, or affectionately known as Bee is a professional recipe developer specializing in Asian recipes. Bee’s first cookbook “Easy Chinese Recipes” was just released and you can now pre-order the book from Amazon. As a professional recipe developer, Bee works with brands such as Mizkan America, WorldFoods and INSING.com just to name a few.
Hainanese Chicken Rice was one of the 2 suggestions i suggested to Bee because i’ve been meaning to post a couple of Hainanese recipes that are very dear to me for the longest of time. Fortunately, for me that is, Bee has not featured this popular dish on her blog, yet. 2 emails later, violaaaaaa….. Hainanese Chicken Rice for ya!
Apart from a bowl of kick-ass rice, i must say, the soup plays a crucial part to my meal to make my whole dining experience a satisfying one. If you haven’t noticed, i have actually used chicken stock (homemade) to poach the chicken. Firstly, it is to make the chicken tastier and secondly, for a huge bowl of unforgettable soup. Throw in a handful of fish balls or meat balls and i guarantee you will end your meal with a smiling face. :)
For more photos and recipe, please hop over to my post on Rasa Malaysia. While you are there, don’t forget to check out Bee’s lovely blog… if you haven’t already.

Thanks for such a sweet write-up, and thanks again for sharing your recipe on Rasa Malaysia, and the plug on my cookbook. XOXO.
It’s lunch time soon and your pix make me wanna eat chicken rice deh……
Applause, applause, applause! You’ve put me to shame! I have not cooked this dish yet. What’s the next Hainanese dish you have up your dish? Maybe we should put together a collection of Hainanese recipes, yeah? Hahahah
bee : my pleasure, Bee. :)
yann : grin. hope you got your chicken rice fix!
shirley : no waaayyy.. look at your recipes! i’ve not cooked pork chop yet. one of these days i must ;) i’m actually thinking of the kueh, with peanut and coconut filling up next. YUMS! hey, great idea.. we should eh?
You what the kueh is called? Is it the Yibua? The white cake with a red dot in the center?
wow! I love hainanese chicken rice!
Thank goodness I had this from room service just now. I see that you used chicken fat for cooking the rice. What an idea! Is that how the Hainanese do it? I used butter for mine, sort of from that Singaporean movie ‘Chicken Rice War’…
Sherie, how wonderful! Yes, kisses from the little ones would make your day any day and emails from friends are little sprinkles of goodness just to sweeten up life a little more! I’m heading over to Bee’s site!
;-)
WhoAAAA, ho-liao! Fish ball soup with chicken rice. :p
Dear blogger,
Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice. I read in your post that you have a number of Hainanese recipes. I am a Hainanese myself, but I do not know much about Hainanese food besides Hainanese Chicken Rice. My Hainanese grandfather (who was a good cook) passed away before I was born and unfortunately, my grandmother (his wife) and children were not really into cooking. So my grandfather took all his Hainanese food recipes to the grave with him. I really love to cook and have been earnestly trying to search for Hainanese food recipes, but the only ones that I get are recipes for Hainanese Chicken Rice and Hainanese Chicken Chop. Was wondering if you can help me in my search for these precious recipes of my heritage.
OOo, chicken rice. We have a half-Malaysian nephew, he loves this. It sounds like classic comfort food :)
Found your lovely blog via Bee’s blog! What a find..I am totally in love with mango mousse cake and this recipe is straight up my try list- One word for that soup – Flavorful!
shirley : i only know how to point, order and eat! HAHA! But yes, it’s the white kueh with the red dot in the center!
peachkins : *smile* yupyupyup!
pickyin : it definitely adds to the oompphh! butter pulls it off nicely too, if, you happen NOT to have any chicken fats in the fridge. ;)
annapet : absolutely!
tigerfish : so homey horrrrr ;)
caroline : i’m actually looking into that.. so, if i happen to come across any other Hainanese recipes, i’ll gladly post it up. ;)
joyti : even non-Malaysians love it. give it a try ;)
tanvi : thank you and welcome! can’t wait to hear from you re mango mousse cheesecake!
