Miri : Hailam Chicken Rice by Choon


Isn't it nice to be able to cook chicken rice like a professional? I learned it from a full blooded Hainanese lady who became a close friend of mine in Miri.





Just before I retired I met a new friend Choon. She is a widow and provides after birth care to many women in Miri and Brunei. She told me that was how she paid for her terrace house and paid for her children's education.

One day we got talking about Hainanese Chicken rice. so she volunteered to cook for me when she was free. I was so happy to hear that.

On the day of the appointment she came to my house and we went out shopping.  We had a good time shopping and cooking the Hainanese rice, her way.






Even the chilli sauce was so special.

I am ever grateful to her for teaching me how to cook good chicken rice. She told me that one of the most important factors is to make sure we have a good and fat chicken for the soup.

Today, you can learn how to cook chicken rice from youtube easily.
