My second visit to Mooi Chin was made possible by Fave and it is a pity that Hainanese food is not as celebrated as the other dialect cuisines. It has turned into a tourist spot, with travel agencies sending tour groups down for meals and the rate they churn dishes is impressive. 
Hainanese Pork Chop ($21)
Thick cut breaded pork chop slices in a savoury gravy and served with potatoes and peas. This Hainanese classic is too good to miss and the family deems this our island's best.
Roasted Crispy Chicken ($20)
Keropok and crispy skinned chicken are such a perfect combination, I have no complaints about the skin but they could be less generous with the salt.
Prawn with Mayonnaise ($24)
Whole battered prawns doused in mayonnaise, sometimes less is really more, someone should remind the Chef.
Sambal Kang Kong ($18)
Chef was extremely generous with his seasoning but I am not complaining when it comes to this spicy dish - the spicier the better!
Steamed Tilapia with Bean Sauce ($22)
Reasonably fresh and we wiped it clean though I will not consider if a Hainanese dish, rather a Chinese one.
Every visit I find new favourites and I hope they are around till I finish trying all the other signatures.
