Hainanese Cuisine is a style of cooking developed and perfected by immigrants from the Hainan Island, situated in the Southern coast of China, having an almost identical climate as that of tropical regions around the world. Faced with the raging wars in China and WWII, poverty-stricken inhabitants of the Hainan Island migrated to our shores in search of a better life. Many started working for Colonial masters as cooks. Some established small coffee shops after collecting enough savings. As the years went by, Hainanese dishes have evolved and been recreated to better suit taste buds of the locals and colonial masters.
