饭团的故事

Photo of Dishes 饭团是海南人的美食，也是逢年过节的节庆菜。在海南岛，

每逢过年、清明祭祖、庙会酬神、家添男丁或贵宾到访，海

南人都会杀鸡做饭团来庆祝。饭团的海南话叫"饭珍"，它的

形状圆圆滚滚的，就像珍珠一般，代表着圆满丰富，全家团

圆。鸡饭团的特点就是用煮熟的鸡饭，搓捏成一粒粒像网球

般大的"圆球"，主要的目的是保住鸡饭芬香的味道，吃起来

就更加的入味芳香。它的制作过程很考耐热力、速度以及毅

力，是一门不简单的手艺。

早期的海南人是以沿街叫卖的方式兜售鸡饭团的。为了减轻

扛盘子、碗碟的重量，他们便以香蕉叶把鸡饭团包裹起来卖，既省力又轻便，这种海南饮食文化

就一直流传至今。但是，跟着社会的进步，现代的人讲求快和方便，因此卖鸡饭团已经很少见

了，取而代之的是以鸡饭的散饭为主。

去。何老板说，在享受鸡饭团时要用手吃，因为这不但口

感特别好，同时也包含了那种浓浓的思乡之情。除了美味

的鸡饭团、白鸡、烧鸡、叉烧烧肉之外，这里也可以品尝

到其它道道地地的海南传统菜式以及广受欢迎的胡椒猪肚

汤。

Chicken Rice Ball Story

Traditionally the chicken rice balls are eaten during special occasions, like Lunar New Year, Qing Ming, birthdays, and etc. In Hainan, chicken rice ball is known as "Fan Zhen", it represents family reunion. It is cook over a controlled fire, with chicken stock, ginger, pandan leaves, plus a secret family recipe. When the rice is hot, it is molded into a round ball (tennis-ball sized), which locks the flavor in. The rubbing requires some skills, it got to be fast, patient and heat-resisting.

In the old times, hawkers used to carry their food in baskets slung on a pole across their shoulder. It was too heavy to carry pots and bowls, so they shaped the rice into balls to make it easier to wrap in banana leaves and sell it to Photo of Dishes customers. Unfortunately this Hainanese food cultural art has changed. Today, most chicken rice stalls have replaced the rice ball into normal chicken rice (rice served with plate) as this is more convenient and less work involved.

The owner, Mr. Hoo has learned this skill from his father-in-law. He insists in serving riceballs as he wanted to pass down this traditional skill to the new generation. Otherwise it would be such a waste if this legacy is lost. He added saying that you have to eat the rice ball with hands as it tastes better and brought back the old memories. Other that the riceballs, white and roasted chicken, char siew, roasted meat, they also served traditional Hainanese vegetables as well as the famous pepper spice pig's stomach soup.
