to be honest, i did not really enjoy the trip this time, as compared to my previous visit to china. i feel like i had culture shock when i was there. although i know and are familiar with the chinese culture, somehow there's something different when you are not in your homeland.
hainan is an island whereby the weather is almost the same in Sabah. but it was very hot due to the sudden temperature rise in some part of China, and the highest temperature during our visit was 38 C.
the main tourist attraction spots are the beaches..and you can see lots of coconuts in hainan. in every supermarket that we visited, surely we can see products made from coconuts, from candies to bags and even the facial products.
dinner on our 1st day in hainan: all were spicy..even the kacang panjang also very spicy..
we joined in the local tour to go around hainan for 3 days 2 nights. we visited pearl shop, jade, market, tea house, seafood products manufacturing factory, and lots more where we can get local products for souvenirs.
it's nice to see their scenery. it's good to see their local products..but then it's the food that i enjoyed the most. they are very cheap!
xiao lung pao & shui jiao: 3 yuan per basket
another experience is to eat pork burger in one of the famous fast food chain, which is unlikely or should i say, impossible to have back at home. :)
the last two days in hainan, we went to the same shop for dinner because they served nice food and big portion and not expensive.
a piece of information for you: you will not get hainan chicken rice in hainan. i'm not really sure how the 'hainan chicken rice' came about..perhaps, long time ago, a man from hainan traveled to malaya and got married to a local lady here.. and because he had to raise his family, he decided to start his own chicken rice business. so, that's how we have our hainan chicken rice, today.
the famous chicken dish in hainan is called Wenchang chicken. wenchang is the name of one of the city in hainan. to have wenchang chicken in hainan, is the same as having ayam kampung in malaysia..
this is the local food in haikou. and, this is something different. the taste is unexplainable.. you will have to try, to know how it taste..a combination of everything. sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
ah meng, tuako, me and mom
