The Hainanese Chicken Chop

What I like about this unique Malaysian dish is that no two restaurants cook or serve it the same. Some come with mashed potato, some with chips and this one with wedges. Others may have fresh garden peas on it, while some use pulpy canned ones (which I like). The signature is in the gravy which should contain Worcestershire sauce but then again, it varies so considerably.

This version is from Auntie Kopitiam in tiny Kuala Selangor town. The eatery is halal and wi-fi enabled.

It is amazing how clear the sky is over the ‘rice bowl’ of Selangor stretching from Kuala Selangor to Sekinchan. It is amazing because the padi fields are set ablaze for replanting after harvesting.

Seeing the beautiful blue skies amidst the burning fields makes me wonder if the age-old practice contributed to the haze problem we are currently facing. I’ll be moving closer to the fire for a special look.

A statue of Shā Wùjìng (nicknamed Sandy or Buffalo) stands guard outside a Chinese temple in the area. The mythical character is from Journey To The West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.
