Hainan Chicken Rice

My dad grew up in Malaysia, and this was his signature dish. Even though it is Chinese in origin, you can only find it in Malaysian or Singaporean restaurants. Hainan Island is off the southern coast of China. A lot of Hainanese Chinese emigrated to Malaysia and Singapore and brought their cuisine with them. This dish has been modified for the Western kitchen and into a healthier version (the original version uses chicken fat).
