As the food fight of the origin of Hainanese Chicken rice and many other foods continues....... John : Wow, this food fight is getting interesting. Now, Melaka is claiming that Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from their state and Penang is claiming Nasi Kandar as theirs.
Me : Yah John, I think things are going out of hand a little bit! But John, I am little sad that my favourite Penang Assam Laksa, Curry Mee and Hokkien mee are not included in our heritage list!
Ah Beng: I am claiming the Hainanese Chicken Rice as mine! My great grandparents were the first to introduce this food in Malaysia!
Ah Lian : What lah, Ah Beng. How can you claim the Chicken Rice belongs to your family!
Ah Beng : You don’t believe me ah? My Ah Kong (granddad) told me that my great grandpa boat capsized in the Straits of Melaka. Then he tied two chickens that he brought all the way from China on his back and swam to shore. Then ‘hor’ he started a chicken farm in KL. My one is real original Hainan Chicken Rice leh. Chicken also from Hainan province, China. Who want to challenge my claim?
Ah Lian : Chey! When the boat capsized, my great grandpa used ‘2 biji’ (2 loafs) of water proof Hainanese bread as floats to reach the shore. The bread was all wet, so he toasted them using a bon fire. All the locals were attracted by the nice aroma and came by to buy the toast from him!
John : Ha ha ha, your story is really amazing! Can I have one Hainanese waterproof toast and one kopi ‘kaw’ (thick) please!

ReplyDeleteIs there a heritage list? What else on it? Maybe you can post in your blog... Hainanese Chicken Rice must be from Hainan, China...what heritage is that?
ReplyDeleteFufu : Ya, no wonder other countries claim it theirs!
ReplyDeleteSTP : Yup Cikgu, check out this link http://www.warisan.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=165&Itemid=161
All this fight about who owns what kind of food is really silly. Don't these people have better things to do? What about preserving heritage buildings instead of demolishing anything that has to do with the colonial past?

Well, all this fight over origins of food is not going to do anyone any good! I am just surprised Singapore did it very well, we should look south!
