HISTORY
During the British colonial period, many Chinese migrated to the shores of Malaya in search of a better livelihood. Hainanese migrants from the island of Hainan were among the the last of the Chinese clans to arrive. The other clans who arrived earlier have established themselves in local businesses. Hence the Hainanese turn to the Food and Beverage industry which was not so established here in Malaya – particularly coffee shops and canteens including those in railway stations then. The British too employed them as chefs, cooks, waiters and waitresses due to their affinity to the F&B industry.
This led to the creation of Hainanese recipes which is fusion of their original and local recipes at that time. At Kluang Station today we continue that tradition of serving you the fusion food that was appreciated by the locals through the years. Enjoy.
