Hainan chicken rice is a dish that basically all of southern China has heard of. White tender chicken breast meat, yellowish chicken skin, the maximum degree of preservation of the aroma of chicken, clip up a piece of chicken breast meat into the mouth, Q elastic smooth chicken breast meat and chicken skin immediately into a mouth full of aroma. There is also rice simmered in chicken broth, the lard makes the white rice glisten with glossiness, and after eating a bowl of rice, the porcelain bowl is full of fragrance.
But, here must respond to one thing, Hainan chicken rice despite the name above the word "Hainan", not Hainan's signature dish, and even not Chinese cuisine. The real traceability of Hainan chicken rice pure belongs to the place, Malaysians and Singaporeans have something to say.
I heard that Singapore previously to apply for intangible heritage for Hainan chicken rice, neighboring countries, Malaysia, annoyed strong protest, so Hainan chicken rice in fact belongs to who, the dispute between the two countries to today, there is still not an accurate answer. However, it is really best to choose words, I think Hainan chicken rice belongs to Singapore's model dishes.
In fact, the Hainan chicken rice called Singapore's national dish is not too much, in Singapore locals are most proud of the list of all right, Hainan chicken rice far ahead. In the streets of Singapore, whether it is a fast food restaurant or a star hotel, Hainan chicken rice package content are not less.
Then, why this is regarded as Singapore's national dish of chicken rice, there will be "Hainan Chicken Rice" name, and Singaporeans are never thought of changing the name? Because the chicken rice using chicken is absolutely China Hainan Island Hainan Wenchang chicken. With Hainan Wenchang chicken made of chicken rice, will be called Hainan chicken rice.
The 20th century Hainanese immigrants invested in the South China Sea, from home to bring together the water blanched Hainan Wenchang chicken, through the optimization and improvement of the evolution and development over the years, has become a Singaporean taste and imprint of a means of specialties, and Hainan Chicken Rice, such as the "registered trademark" of the name will be fixed.
In fact, the famous food expert Mr. Cai Lan once said: "Hainan chicken rice is the Singaporean expatriates evolved cultural blend of ingredients, should be named Sin Chew Chicken Rice is right." Just when the South into the immigrant investment has been accustomed to call Hainan chicken rice, this name has been passed down, so that many people think that Hainan chicken rice is Hainan's signature dish, but did not realize that this is also Singapore's exemplary specialty food. You can say that all these years, we have misunderstood.
Unexpectedly, in other provinces and cities open the red-hot Hainan chicken rice, in fact, in many Hainanese is indeed very strange, a Hainanese said: "in Hainan recognized not much so-called 'Hainan chicken rice'." Because we have not eaten chicken oil rice and chicken soup from small to large, and its a dish of chicken package content chicken rice. The only thing that can be linked together is Hainan Hainan Wenchang chicken.
But, along with the combination of culture and art with each other, nowadays, Hainan can also see some of the chicken rice package content, so completely say that Hainan chicken rice and our country Hainan has nothing to do, are not correct. Because of the chicken rice package content, the practice of stewing rice in lard can also be found in Hainan, New Year's Eve or festivals or ancestor worship, Hainanese people will be made of white rice into a group, a metaphor for "family reunion and wealth".
Then again, how about the best Hainanese chicken rice? If you still have the opportunity to go to Singapore, you must try the local Hainanese chicken rice. In the street stalls, a chicken rice is only 5 Singapore dollars, steamed chicken on the storefront, after ordering, you can obtain a stewed white rice with lard and chicken broth stewed in the heart, on the top of the yards of slices of chicken breasts, but also have a special production sauce.
The connoisseur said: "Eat Hainan chicken rice, to see the real chapter with oil and rice, alone lard and rice surely can not cook out of the essence." There are sophisticated businesses will be added to the lard spices, such as lemongrass, lemon mint, ginger, garlic, etc., fried out of the lard with the spices together poured into the white rice, coupled with the soul of the chicken broth, stewed and steamed out of the white rice to open the table cover the aroma, people can not even swallow three bowls of hate.
For chicken breast, smooth, more tender, not fishy, each family made chicken breast slightly different, the bones show peach-pink color, chicken skeleton near the blood, it looks as if it is not cooked, but the raw and cooked just right, the bite of the smooth, rather than tight rich. Who could turn down this chicken breast with chicken-fried rice?
