Our dinner visit to The Hainan Story at Jewel Changi Airport brought us back to some familiar Hainanese favourites. The moment we stepped in, the spacious dining area and colourful storefront caught our attention. Known for its selection of Hainanese delights, we were looking forward to tucking into a comforting spread of local favourites. With so many dishes to choose from, it was time to settle down and enjoy our dinner!

The Thick Bee Hoon Laksa came with a generous combination of ingredients, including boiled egg, prawns, pork slices and crispy-looking Soya Ring roll. The thick bee hoon was immersed in a rich, creamy laksa gravy that looked flavourful and inviting. With a mix of seafood, meat and other toppings in every bowl, this was a comforting local favourite to savour.

Served on faux newspaper-style waxed paper, this Curry Chicken Drumstick Rice with Sunny Side Up & Hainanese Stewed Vegetable has been one of my staple orders ever since I got to know The Hainan Story. The chicken drumstick was incredibly tender, with meat that practically fell off the bone. Paired with the luscious, flavourful curry sauce, a sunny side up egg and a serving of Hainanese stewed vegetables, this was a comforting and satisfying meal that I would happily order again.

The Half Roasted and Steamed Chicken from Wee Nam Kee is a lovely combination of two chicken styles on one plate. I enjoyed having both the tender poached chicken and the roasted version, paired with fragrant chicken-infused rice, cucumber slices and their house-made sauces. It is a comforting, familiar Hainanese chicken rice meal that brings a taste of Singapore's food heritage to the table.

To show just how massive the Monster Kongzilla is, all of us placed our palms around it for comparison! This extra-long hot dog was seriously impressive in size, and it was quite a sight to see how it stretched across the plate. Definitely a fun one to share with friends!
