I'm quite jealous of your command of multiple languages. Also, you need to do a collsb with Alex from Frenchguycooking, I think your styles would mesh well!
Just a small correction. In Spanish when one says "caliente" it is a reference to the temperature of the food. To talk about the spiciness one says "picante".
I was born and raised in Haikou, Hainan. So awesome to see you investigate the most authentic Hainanese Chicken and go all the way to Wenchang lol. Though you can get some pretty decent Wenchang Chicken in Haikou itself. I do think Singapore has a “cleaner” version (without the bones and stuff) of Hainanese Chicken. Things showed up in your video besides the chicken: Get a taxi > 打的 “Bobba Tea Tube” I know that’s a joke lol but it’s a various metal tube wholesale storefront. aged salt lemonade > 老盐柠檬水 “Tea House,” is actually “Granpa Tea” or “Papa Tea” > 老爸茶 Get a three-wheel ride > 坐三轮机车 You should try a bowl of fresh-coconut-water-based 清补凉 “cool you down” next time you visit!
Damn Hainan looks really nice. Their coffee shops look like Malaysian Chinese coffee shops which makes me feel like home. Would like to visit there someday.
Andong, you just made me miss Haikou! I was working there as a foreign kindergarten teacher when I decided to take a vacation back to my homeland, the Philippines. And now I am stuck because of the pandemic. I miss Haikou so much.
Omg this is so surprised, i found this channel when it was suggested for how to make a perfect fried rice. Definately fall in love with the way he explained in every details...... And now he even know how to speak Chinese????? a very good Chinese some more! but what i love the most is the energy that he giveYou gona be my top 3 youtube channel for now. What a talented guy!
Oh man.. that coffee shop in Hainan reminds me so much of old school Chinese coffee shops in Malaysia. Wow the architecture of the buildings in Wenchang.. it reminds me of the old buildings that the British left behind in Malaysia. Hainan feels like a place that I would feel very at home. Walking around in public in a singlet like an ahpek (old uncle), your friend seems to have lived in Singapore for a long time. I'm kinda disappointed you didn't try all 3 of the famous Wenchang chicken restaurants. You went all the way there, man.
Singaporean tip to getting even more kick out of your chicken rice: Together with the chili sauce, a minced ginger paste and a thick black soy sauce is also always provided. Note, this thick black soy sauce is NOT the kind you find in sushi bars, etc. It is a little sweeter from molasses and less salty that the kind commonly found in Chinese/Japanese restaurants (which is known in Singapore as "light soy sauce" 酱 清). Mix in the ginger and thick black soy with your chili sauce to taste. I guarantee it will take the flavour to a whole new level. Also my personal favourite, to put on the thick black soy sauce liberally on the rice in a big black spiral. It adds even more umami, and a certain richness to the rice. Try it, you might love it as much as I do.
Dear Andong, you don’t need to fly all the way to Hainan bro. Come over to Malaysia (one bridge from Singapore) , I can bring you around to whack all the Hainan chicken here. You won’t be disappointed.
Yo my mom's a hainanese, and im singaporean, and this shit is lit AHAHAHA. As he mentioned "Hainanese Chicken rice" is not even from hainan firstly, because what's special about the dish in singapore is also the rice itself, where in hainan, its famous for the chicken, the rice we eat with it is actually just white rice.
Hey Andong! Wonderful video make me miss my home!! I grew up in Hainan and this is the best video about Hainan ever!! The tea house is actually called “老爸茶” and it is the signature culture of Hainan.
Wow I can't believe U actually went to Hainan for Hainan Chicken Rice, it's so mind-blowing! U are the best foreign youtuber on Chinese food by far! All the best from Berlin
LOL. Glad you liked chicken rice. There are actually many Singapore neighborhood shops that I feel are better than Tian Tian. If you come again, I can bring you.
Being a national dish, every where is available and different people have their favourite stall though Tian Tian is popular with tourist because of foreign food bloggers.
honestly most people speak the local language and don't necessarily speak mandarin with a Beijing accent. Like if you go to Shanghai, they speak mandarin with a shanghai accent.
@@woolfel .yesh but mandarin is with a strong biased standard pronunciation, and that's how and why it be created. Mandarin is a language that needs to be pronounced properly or it can't be called as mandarin from Mandarin's definition, with a local accent is actually a kind of mixture, more like a pidging or creolisation between local dialect and mandarin, not only will using their own pronunciation to say. Also, the dialect vocabulary even in some area in China will have different grammar remained from middle-ancient Chinese, is not like other Romanic or Germanic language just can commonly say as it is an accent(no offensive meaning, I know they also have huge different). It will cause confusion even to native Chinese speakers if without some time to adapting that accent. different Chinese dialect is actually with huge different and even cant using to communication at all, so the most time they even not be considered as the same language in Linguistics. For example, my first language is both Chinese and Jiangxi dialect, called Gan-Chinese and Mandarin. The degree of separation for Gan and Mandarin is 33%, but even Spanish and Latin is only about 20% degree of separation, people who only speak mandarin 100% cant understand our dialect and hard to understand a strong Jiangxi accent mandarin, just like that driver with a strong Hainan accent, more south in China, more seriously this accent circumstance will be. If you just in those metropolis areas it won't be that matter cuz most of the people there can speak mandarin properly or with an accent close to standard pronunciation that you can mostly understand (except Shanghai, hard to say local people won't speak Shanghainese to you unless you look like from a foreign country), but if you go to the place like middle-east China, southern China, it will have a big problem..... And the Beijing accent you mentioned itself is actually false. There is no Beijing accent, only Mandarin (modern standard Chinese) and Northern Mandarin(a mandarin dialect of Chinese) Beijing dialect.
@@oliviathescots7770 I live in the US, but I am Taiwanese. I've met people from various parts of china that have different accent. It can be difficult to understand when a person's regional accent is strong.
I've been waiting to see your next video and now life is good again. I love all things chicken and can only imagine how satisfying this must have been. For many years I've saved chicken bones and other parts that I would use in making stock to make rice. I love plain white rice but rice made with seasoned stock or broth takes it to a whole new level. Since I've become more aware of Asian cuisine, I've now started adding chili sauce, fresh ginger, sesame oil and chopped green onion. Oh and depending on my mood, fish sauce. It may be a bit overkill but makes for a super savory dish. So happy to see you again Andong! Love you, love your videos. XXXOOO (apparently cops every hate being recorded.) Another subject for another time!
just found this channel today and all i wanna say is where has this been all my life. Andong, your way of presenting is very good and i like that we have very similar thinking regarding food and its origins and most importantly its ties with the culture. keep up the good work
There is a Kampong Hainanese Chicken rice stall in Molek, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. You should try it. The rice and sauce is the same, but the Kampong Chicken is of a much better quality.
OMG. You make it all the way to Wengchang, find the three best chicken places and the question is “which one should we go to”??? Clearly the answer has to be: all three!
Dude your insane cultural skills are amazing. You my friend are a genius. Subtitles made me laugh so freaking hard! BTW, If you come to Brazil, you're more than welcome for a traditional Moqueca at my house.
as a chinese i would say hainan chicken is originated from singapore, maybe @ the very beginning they get the idea from wenchang chicken. wenchang chicken which is also delicious but not the same thing.
How come you travel so much, I came here one day for food videos, but the travel videos are added bonuses! I wish I had the money (or days off) to travel like that. Anyway, amazing video as always!
Try Malaysia mate, really, not lying. Ive been living in sg for 17 years but once I started living in Malaysia, I would say Malaysia has the upperhand, in depth and variety. There are a few Singaporean hawkers and restaurants that still have that "only here can find" quality in Sg, but mann you should truly explore Malaysian cuisine, it is like the gateway to understanding other SEA cuisines and cultures....
Hainanese Chicken Rice In Singapore was adapted to suit local tastes and influences by Hainanese migrants who came to Singapore that's why you have the spicy chili sauce on the side. The Chili sauce at Tian Tian has calamansi juice in it that was responsible for that fruity citrus flavour. Some stalls use vinegar instead. True to the "use every part of the chicken" mentality, you can order chicken gizzards and/or liver to go with your chicken rice in Singapore.
Another fun video! Love how enthusiastic and excited you get regarding food - combined with your outfit in China, it made you look like a school kid. Lol. Keep the great content coming! 👍👌
Timcasp 香is not just referring for smelling. If it referring for food, some aroma have to be “taste” out in your mouth instead “smell” it with your nose. And the meme “真香” specially referring the boy who reject the food, but happily eat them after anyway.
Yesss thank you so much for representing our people so well and correcting that Hainan chicken rice is actually from Hainan! I'm Hainanese! The seafood there is amazing too, hope you got to try that
hi Andong, you should try "ayam pop" (ayam means chicken) from Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. It has some similarities with Hainan Chicken. The chicken is boiled with coconut water only, then quickly fried just for a second before served. They serve with special sambal and white rice. you wont regret is.
I worked at Nongs Khao Man Gai in Portland Oregon for maybe 5 years? All we served was hainanese chicken and rice. I leaned a lot there and that dish is still something I crave till this day. Thanks for this video ! Love them all !
I am from the wenchang region of the island, where its origin is supposed to be, the particular taste of the wenchang chicken and the method of preparation. The supposed original doesn't really have a set name or a famous name, it's mainly for offering purpose during the festival ritual to pay respect to the spirit of our ancestors, usually, a large bulk of the chicken is not eaten in my area during the festival and simply being placed on tables for the offering, only part of it is shared between family members. The original recipes are basically the same but not as diversified and decorated later in SE Asia, we might like to mash more ginger in it because Hainanese gingers taste so goddamn good. My mother side's great-grandma told us that her step-mom says the recipe basically exists for as far back as she could remember her childhood, who was born during the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, exact dates unsure due to limited education back in the days
When I'm eating chicken rice in Singapore, I'll always tell the seller not to give me chicken breast meat. It's the least tasty and toughest part of the chicken.
I have not in my life seen someone so excited about chicken rice. I guess being born in Singapore myself, we eat this all the time and somehow took it for granted. After this video I am now craving for chicken rice. Lol!
The actual Kopitiam that serves butter kaya toast bread & coffee those years originated from hylamnese ppl ..today all eateries are very commercialised..
I hear you the ding dings when food explode with light and joy like a firecracker inside your mouth makes your eyes blink instantly hahaha love your videos!!!
Oh btw, heard Hainanese chicken rice even though named as such, is not from Hainan. It was named this way because before Singapore became independent, we had lots of immigrants from many different areas, including China who worked as labourers. Singapore was originally inhabited by Malays and therefore, our national language is Malay even though our first language is English (confusing I know). When Chinese came to Singapore, they created this dish based on their roots, infused with some local ingredients. And Hainanese chicken rice was created. Many of our dishes are created this way, infused with different cultures. E.g. laksa has noodles and dried shrimp from chinese cuisines and coconut and spice from malay and indian cuisines.
Welcome back! I was bummed that you decided to “抽热闹” and the cops didn't let you film haha. Your excitement was dripping through the camera, the chicken looked amazing!! Can't wait for the other videos!
Originally the Hainanise chicken rice comes from Melaka where some Hainanise in Hainan island migrated to the town on Melaka where they are first started with 3 things the rice in ball form, the chicken and lastly the chili. No where in the world even in Singapore can claim how this where made.
I just found your videos andog and I can say being chinese myself i'm so glad you aren't afraid of the racism that chinese people often have of cultures and people. I'm glad you are still so upbeat despite all the looks and being called whitey white white or 'ghost'. Cheers man great channel im loving it.
Andong great video! I had been following you since the beginning and am very glad that you found the time to visit my country Singapore! And nice research on the origin of Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore. There are actually more national dishes in Singapore that locals enjoy on a daily basics which you definitely should try out like Laksa, Bak Chor Mee, Wanton Mee, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Padang, Roti Prata, Biryani, Murtabak, Char Kway Teow etc. Enjoy!
8-10 years ago I used to make chicken rice quite often. I never tried it in any restaurant, so I can only imagine what the real deal is like. This makes me want to start making this dish again.
"How much chicken should I take?"
"You look like you can handle a whole one" - savage. :D
That's not the actual translation. Just a joke Andong made.
@@funofboredom well I know that he usually exagerates in his translations, but this one might be real. :D
@@solokom no, the shop owner said, "a whole chicken or half a chicken is okay for 2 people."
On Hainan is no special Chicken rice. this is bullshit from singapore. watch my market episode #incredible #China and not a #fake

Just a small correction. In Spanish when one says "caliente" it is a reference to the temperature of the food. To talk about the spiciness one says "picante".
I wish we had this distinction in English! I use picante all the time now.
BubblewrapHighway I mean. We do. We have hot. And we have spicy.
People just choose to use one instead of the other
Caliente also means SEXY!🔥
@@BubblewrapHighway umm, we actually do. Hot and spicy are different, some people just blur the lines between the two

The effort gone into this video is amazing. Your command of Chinese is amazing. Looking forward to more amazing videos from you.
Surprise. 华语 好棒。💪🌸
I was born and raised in Haikou, Hainan. So awesome to see you investigate the most authentic Hainanese Chicken and go all the way to Wenchang lol. Though you can get some pretty decent Wenchang Chicken in Haikou itself. I do think Singapore has a “cleaner” version (without the bones and stuff) of Hainanese Chicken.
Things showed up in your video besides the chicken:
Get a taxi > 打的
“Bobba Tea Tube” I know that’s a joke lol but it’s a various metal tube wholesale storefront.
aged salt lemonade > 老盐柠檬水
“Tea House,” is actually “Granpa Tea” or “Papa Tea” > 老爸茶
Get a three-wheel ride > 坐三轮机车
You should try a bowl of fresh-coconut-water-based 清补凉 “cool you down” next time you visit!
Gary’s Chinese grandpa cosplay is spot on.
His acting is amazing, too
"Dude, uhh, you lost your fork..?"
Damn Hainan looks really nice. Their coffee shops look like Malaysian Chinese coffee shops which makes me feel like home. Would like to visit there someday.
Andong did mentioned that the architecture on Hainan were influenced by local that came back from oversea.
Andong, you just made me miss Haikou! I was working there as a foreign kindergarten teacher when I decided to take a vacation back to my homeland, the Philippines. And now I am stuck because of the pandemic. I miss Haikou so much.

It's so entertaining to read those translations when I can understand the spoken parts :D
Singaporean tip to getting even more kick out of your chicken rice: Together with the chili sauce, a minced ginger paste and a thick black soy sauce is also always provided. Note, this thick black soy sauce is NOT the kind you find in sushi bars, etc. It is a little sweeter from molasses and less salty that the kind commonly found in Chinese/Japanese restaurants (which is known in Singapore as "light soy sauce" 酱
清). Mix in the ginger and thick black soy with your chili sauce to taste. I guarantee it will take the flavour to a whole new level.
Also my personal favourite, to put on the thick black soy sauce liberally on the rice in a big black spiral. It adds even more umami, and a certain richness to the rice. Try it, you might love it as much as I do.
Kecap manis sweet soya sauce
@@whtdafuk1701 Nope. It's the wrong kind. Kecap manis is too sweet
The tea house you accidentally discovered is the place where the locals go for “老爸茶”.

I died here 3:13, Andong almost got me to believe that these are actually for bubble tea, and then the owner was like "dafaq you're talking bout" lol

I am from the wenchang region of the island, where its origin is supposed to be, the particular taste of the wenchang chicken and the method of preparation. The supposed original doesn't really have a set name or a famous name, it's mainly for offering purpose during the festival ritual to pay respect to the spirit of our ancestors, usually, a large bulk of the chicken is not eaten in my area during the festival and simply being placed on tables for the offering, only part of it is shared between family members. The original recipes are basically the same but not as diversified and decorated later in SE Asia, we might like to mash more ginger in it because Hainanese gingers taste so goddamn good. My mother side's great-grandma told us that her step-mom says the recipe basically exists for as far back as she could remember her childhood, who was born during the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, exact dates unsure due to limited education back in the days
When I'm eating chicken rice in Singapore, I'll always tell the seller not to give me chicken breast meat. It's the least tasty and toughest part of the chicken.
Appəl if they know how to cook it, it’s awesome!
Cheng Kai Fang EXACTLY. Different parts have different textures and flavours, ALL DELICIOUS!
Cheng Kai Fang u are right. Though most chicken breast are normally not so nice.
chicken breast is nice
GET CHICKEN TAIL (tell them u want JI WEI) its as good as a drumstick! But no additional charges! ;)
I have not in my life seen someone so excited about chicken rice. I guess being born in Singapore myself, we eat this all the time and somehow took it for granted. After this video I am now craving for chicken rice. Lol!
The actual Kopitiam that serves butter kaya toast bread & coffee those years originated from hylamnese ppl ..today all eateries are very commercialised..
This rice is an umami explosion!
Chicken rice is my life!
7:05 “不用。我们走路“ oh wait nevermind
I hear you the ding dings when food explode with light and joy like a firecracker inside your mouth makes your eyes blink instantly hahaha love your videos!!!
Oh btw, heard Hainanese chicken rice even though named as such, is not from Hainan. It was named this way because before Singapore became independent, we had lots of immigrants from many different areas, including China who worked as labourers. Singapore was originally inhabited by Malays and therefore, our national language is Malay even though our first language is English (confusing I know). When Chinese came to Singapore, they created this dish based on their roots, infused with some local ingredients. And Hainanese chicken rice was created. Many of our dishes are created this way, infused with different cultures. E.g. laksa has noodles and dried shrimp from chinese cuisines and coconut and spice from malay and indian cuisines.
Yea right. And back to Singapore after that to do the comparison? FYI.
Maxwell is in Singapore. FYI too.
Your videos are like a breath of fresh air.
this is like watching someone touring the picturesque regions of Bavaria and going on about how great everything is in 1938 Germany lol
Welcome back! I was bummed that you decided to “抽热闹” and the cops didn't let you film haha. Your excitement was dripping through the camera, the chicken looked amazing!! Can't wait for the other videos!
Originally the Hainanise chicken rice comes from Melaka where some Hainanise in Hainan island migrated to the town on Melaka where they are first started with 3 things the rice in ball form, the chicken and lastly the chili. No where in the world even in Singapore can claim how this where made.
Singapore will always welcome you both!
I just found your videos andog and I can say being chinese myself i'm so glad you aren't afraid of the racism that chinese people often have of cultures and people. I'm glad you are still so upbeat despite all the looks and being called whitey white white or 'ghost'. Cheers man great channel im loving it.
Andong great video! I had been following you since the beginning and am very glad that you found the time to visit my country Singapore! And nice research on the origin of Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore. There are actually more national dishes in Singapore that locals enjoy on a daily basics which you definitely should try out like Laksa, Bak Chor Mee, Wanton Mee, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Padang, Roti Prata, Biryani, Murtabak, Char Kway Teow etc. Enjoy!
Seeing you eat Hainanese chicken rice makes me hungry and go out to eat Hainanese chicken rice in a hawker center! Greetings from Singapore. :-)
Love all of your videos! Aside from making amazing looking food you're also a great vlogger!
I did not know - Andong’s Mandarin Chinese is excellent!
As an American seeing how many languages he can speak baffles my mind
Andong Chinese is the ideal equivalent of "German efficiency" because obviously andong study Chinese efficiently
Berlin > Singapore > Haikou > Wenchang (eat chicken) > Singapore (eat more chicken). Unbelievable dedication to the cause. :)
I was somewhat missing your own Cooking inspired by this culinary journey.
Should have watched till the end :D Now I'm looking forward to next week.
8-10 years ago I used to make chicken rice quite often. I never tried it in any restaurant, so I can only imagine what the real deal is like. This makes me want to start making this dish again.
I'm older than you, been there and pigged out... It's awesome!
Century egg challenge... Make some!😁👍
Oh yay, a new video! I was just wondering when we'd start seeing video from your travels. ❤️
