  yax-313 Hainanese food - a taste of Singapore
Above them was their brightly lit signboard, "Hainanese Western Food".
But once the Hainanese got a foot into the mess kitchens, they tended to own it, for in those days, employment was often by way of personal recommendation.
Whereas the Hokkiens, Teochews and Cantonese had their sections of the old Chinatown, the Hainanese quarter was in the "New Town", North of the Singapore River.

 The Asia Rice Foundation: Malaysia Rice Articles
ONE of the last Chinese clans to arrive in Malaya, the Hainanese, a distinct dialect group, came to be known for their prowess in the kitchen.
Another version of folk history has it that the Hainanese men ended up as cooks because, traditionally, it was their womenfolk who toiled in the fields back home, while the men stayed indoors.
Dominating the kitchens of their colonial masters at the turn of the 20th century, the Hainanese were adept cooks who not only learnt to prepare Western food, but created local dishes to suit European taste buds, giving birth to dishes such as chicken chop, macaroni pie, chicken pie and chicken and lamb stew.

 Hainanese (ethnic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hainanese (meaning the Han Chinese settlers of the island's east coast) are a Chinese ethnic group, originating from Hainan (the southernmost and smallest Chinese province).
Much of the population of the Hainanese people, along with the Hakka, Cantonese and Hokkien peoples is now in diaspora in many Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia (where they were known as Hailam).
Although most Hainanese people were originally fishermen from the Fujian and Guangdong provinces who settled the islands of China's smallest province, in the Southeast Asian countries they moved into, many of them went on to become cooks, restaurateurs, and hoteliers.

 Ethnic Chinese in Cambodia
The trail-blazer of Hainanese emigration to Kampot was a man named Mac Cuu, a Ming patriot who arrived in Cambodia in 1675 and built up such wealth and reputation that he was appointed a provincial governor (oknya) by the Cambodian king in 1708 (Willmott 1967:6).
By 1899, Kampot had close to 3,000 Hainanese, and the Hainanese and Teochiu were the only two dialect groups in Kampot large enough to warrant their own congrégation (Garry 1963:377; Raquez 1903:955).
Kampot's Hainanese  community prides itself on the genealogy of Bentougong, a divinity specific to Cambodia and closely tied to Kampot, who allegedly came into being along with his holy trinity of siblings upon the death of three Hainanese brothers in Kompong Trach centuries ago.

I grew up with the sweet song-like sounds of the Hainanese dialect, one of the smallest regional groups of overseas Chinese.

What dialect group are you?, he inquired while at the same time poking the stallholder with his walking stick.)
