Taste For Hainanese 'Kai Fan' Growing
By Zureena Abdullah

Bandar Seri Begawan - Several food stalls have been set up at Setia Kenangan Complex in Kiulap during the Ramadhan month.

A stall there specialises in Hainanese chicken rice, a favourite among those breaking the fast.

Chicken rice or 'Kai Fan' is the most famous dish among the Chinese, but the popularity of this dish is not limited to the Chinese community alone. The dish has become popular among Malays as well.

Madam Rohana Abas, storeowner, said her chicken rice is made up of a recipe that originates from Singapore.

She said many flocking to her stall are Singaporeans.

Rohana added that she liked to make her chicken rice as authentic as possible to please her customers' taste buds.

"I always buy chicken rice from this stall as it reminds me of home. I like to eat Hainanese chicken rice from my country," said Jaafar, a Singaporean.

Rohana said the stall begins at 3 pm, but the chicken rice is usually sold out by 6 pm. She added that she intends to specialise in Hainanese chicken rice in the future, seeing that the demand was so good. (Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin)
