» Few people will refuse a plate of khao man gai (chicken with rice), at least as long as a crucial condition is met _ it must be the authentic Hainanese versions of the dish. The true aficionado of this dish will probably walk away from the khao man gai sold in food courts or from roadside stalls, where it is usually prepared by vendors from Isan rather than by Hainanese chefs. Also to be avoided are the places that sell khao man gai together with rice topped with Chinese red pork or grilled duck. The cooks there are unlikely to be experts at preparing real khao man gai.
