http://www.hainnet.com , http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Malaysia-Hainanese would be of interest
to you and our “suki”.

Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your blog. I was searching for anything about Hainanese that doesn’t include chicken rice in the same breath. It is an impossible task – Perhaps the shadow of the chicken rice and Singapore sling is too great to escape.

In any event, I think you write very well, And hopefully, in the future, Hainanese can be proud of something other than chicken rice – perhaps, after reading your blog, we can add indomitable, artistic and free-thinking amongst some of the more positive attributes.

Keep up the good work.

Hucks – err, I don’t know who you are talking about.

VK – Haven’t eaten BTK for v long, forgot how the chili tastes like. =P

Monoceros – hey, Xing is quite a cool name too! My fellow comrade!

AKM - it’s in Amoy Street market. Yummy and cheap food galore!

Ash – haha, yes Hainanese people talk as if they are fighting! Like my mother and all my aunties.

Tsk tsk. Let another 100% hainanese product speak. I think of delicious “koi bui” (chicken rice)when I read your entry.
Yes, hainanese girls are sposed to be pretty according to many old folks (any noisy)
And well said about the chilli. Non-hainanese wld never understand how standard our chilli is.
You forgot western food dearie. Hainanese are known for western food also.
Lastly, I love to scold you buay lor mai!
