Hainan Island - Day 1 (26/11/08) - Pt 1

Air Asia really make everyone can fly... even to Haikou, China.





Haikou airport




After landed @ airport, our first destination was this bird park... sounds weird rite as bord is so command in Malaysia. Something to share here is that the climate here is very similar to Malaysia, as their plants, fruits and seaside is so similar to Malaysia...




When come to bird, of course Hitomi is the most happy one





Myself with Hitomi




After that, we had our lunch @ this restaurant







yuhuuuu... beer!!! a very light beer which u can treat is as drinking water.






First dish was this cold plated prawn. The prawn is fresh but i actually prefer if it is hot.





Steamed duck with garlic and ginger. The duck texture is soft and it taste a bit salty





The tasteless "lala" soup






Sizzling lamb !! This is the best among all as the lamb was really tender and tasty. First time to had it with lots of black fungus








Vegetables.. love all of it as it is sweet and crisp..







Steamed chicken. The texture of this chicken is similar to our "kampung chicken" which is tougher.




This is the shocking "mui choy kou yuk". Look at the fats!!! Initially i dun dare to eat until my mum persuade me to try... gosh... it looks fat but it is delicious and melt in your mouth!






Steamed fish -a fish that have the most fish bone that i ever try. End up, no one touch the fish even though the fish meat is fresh and sweet.





We end our lunch with the China orange. Honestly, all of us still doesn't get use to local method of cooking and taste. But for me, it's a good experience.

I wonder why the pigs in China has got so much fats. Yours at least can still see the thin layer of meat..the one i had in Beijing was like eating pork fats!

JENCOOKS said...

You travelling back to last year!
Been there before and stayed at Sanya hotel, so luxurious and breakfast excellent but more than that the food outside wasnt interesting. Home to Hainan Chicken Rice but I think here in Msia and Spore taste better.

Yeah, Mui Choy and 3layer pork looks good.

Hi Jackson, thx for dropping by our site earlier!

The food in Haian looks great... but was it really oily? I heard that food in China is really really oily...

The mui choy kou yuk looks so tasty, even with all that fat... haha...

irenekay said...

I went to Sanya mid last year and i would say it dint give me a very good impression (except that I damn regret I dint stay in Yalong bay instead of DadongHai) Thank god e resort i stayed in has great pool and facilities. The Sanya city was pretty boring and shopping was pretty crappy..:P

I think the kampung chicken you had is called WenChang Chicken- Their version of Hainanese chicken rice and you can request for rice in coconut. Their lamb also one of their Hainan speciality which its pretty good.

hmmm, how come my comments never get published one ah? i coulda sworn i left a few comments...
gosh, that kau yuk looks like kau fei...with a hint of yuk....yerr, too fatty la...even for my standards.
i actually found the food in hainan quite awful, truth be told, and i AM hainanese...
i think all the good hainanese chefs migrated to malaysia oridi...
