“Selling well, in the past, I used a line of 400-500 kilometers a day, for the Princess Mother’s birthday and the big annual Chinese New Year event, but recently I admitted that I was scared! for it falls much Worshipers worship less. Now there are 200-300 kilograms left that are eaten by the older generation, and the younger generation doesn’t know Hainan snacks.”
Settle down to make this career. “JanetNittaya Takpradit is 63 years old told us that it was more than 40-50 years ago for “Hainanese Desserts” Ancient menu, food (main food), authentic Hainan Chinese people original recipe In the old days, Janit’s parents settled and worked here. “Chao Mae Thapthim Samsen Shrine”(at the foot of the Sang Hee Bridge) previously by selling food also to be sold as “Wan Mee” (food menu) and the dessert at “Bok Kia” alongside the opera house which’ n perform regularly in the shrine. This place along But Janit chooses to make and sell it herself as a Hainanese dessert menu which has been trial and error for many years. Until the customers began to accept the craftsmanship and sell well, respectively.
“Sold It has been 40-50 years already. In the past, our parents sold sweet noodles and bok kies. And then we came to do it ourselves, we cook our own. It depends on the taste if customers say that this taste is not tasty. We are improving ourselves, trying to do as much as we can It’s easy to say it’s been a long time since we had our regular! It took a very long time.”
Jenit Hainan Chinese dessert
Janit said that in the past they did not sell as they do today. Because it will start selling when opera first plays, opening at 4 pm, closing at midnight or 1 am, but later it started to become unconventional because there were no people. “In the past, there were many old people, many elderly people, many older people, but these days, they are not very popular with them. It was just like an adult. Most of them are regular customers. Our customers are a lot of our regular customers.”
There are dry and liquid types. Anyone who likes beef or pork can choose.
“The Hainan line will be his line. It is different from “Khanom Jeen” that Thai people eat, which is Hainan rice noodles. The flour is different, but the taste is somewhat similar, but not. It is Hainan. Depends on people who like to get dry– There is water, If the water is clear water If it is dry, it is condensed water. Hainanese rice cakes are the roots of his stable.”
Janit also said that if it was really original, it would be “meat” first, but when more and more people started not eating meat, so “pork” was also added. “In the past, there were no pork knuckles. Only decomposed meat and fresh meat, tripe. We also cooked noodles and pickled cabbage. and then just a scoop If the water is fresh meat, tripe, garlic and sesame seeds. put them on as usual because we’re done.” Then when it’s time to eat What kind of flavor do you like? eat noodles or plain flavor If it’s normal, you don’t need to add seasoning at all. depending on the flavor of the soup that has been cooked But if you like the intense flavor, there is also “Kapi” which adds more flavor. You can’t go without shrimp paste for Hainanese rice noodles. then pickled chili, cayenne pepper, and sugar, and if it was true in the past, then there wouldn’t have been cayenne pepper and sugar because only pickled chili and shrimp paste was enough. The latter version uses chili powder and sugar as well, and people eat more intense flavors.
Large bowls are full but sold at a fixed price.
from the starting price in the early days which was sold for just over 20 baht per bowl Janit said that today it has risen to “50 baht” due to the times when the prices of various things and raw materials used have increased. It is constantly being adjusted It is said that if the item becomes more expensive, the price must be adjusted accordingly in order to survive. Previously, it was 40 baht and then adjusted to 50 baht in the last 2-3 years. “Beef and pork are the same price. We can sell meat for half the price, but we don’t sell it, we sell it for the same price. Why not take a tutu? Pork and beef are the same price. We’ll get the meat a little less maybe. less than a little But it was never a small lap. for our hands are heavy! All the raw materials used were becoming more expensive. but we don’t go up Because we go up, we think the customer is this size. Other places sell for 70-80 baht, but we sell for the this price, fixed price. Unless someone is eating something special, they order 60, if it’s normal, then 50.”
During the festival, the sales are even better.
He asked Jenit if she had to prepare things to sell every day, like vermicelli rice, at least, how many kilograms per day, were sold, and the answer was Not sure about trading, but you have to be prepared, at least 20 kilos up for lines that are sold during normal days. But if it is a day of respect – the birthday of the goddess (Loi Krathong period), there must be 200-300 kilograms. For example, pork knuckles must always be boiled. As for the sellers, they sell, and the manufacturers do it, but during these 2 days which are the big event of the year, there will be no “meat” at all, there will be people who eat regularly know that during these 2 important. days, it is Born with a goddess and Chinese New Year, she will not cook any meat dishes.
“During the goddess’s birthday And in the Chinese New Year, many people will come to pay their respects. Having to prepare things, invest a lot 7-8 ten thousand, sometimes almost a hundred thousand every 2 days, probably today sell until tomorrow It will be like that when there is a big event.”
But if during normal sales every day just enough stuff!
If it’s a normal time, it’s on sale like this The shop opens from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm every day. Janit said if the items are sold out, it’s around 2:00 pm to 2:00 pm depending on what you have prepared, they can be sold every day. If sometimes it is not enough like dry pork, if it runs out quickly, you can boil it again, but if it is “meat”, it cannot be boiled because it takes more time. “Part of food like this is that customers will come to eat according to the restaurant’s reputation as well. Old people, they used to eat it, they would know if people who used to eat it knew it. This one has been sold for a long time. like that If some people don’t know, it came when the media started spreading. When he found out it was sold here, he would come and try it too.”
It is a food known only when the time changes.! But the taste never changes.
Janit said that this profession has a “daughter” who will be the next successor. Acting and helping to do so from the young generation until now, who have a son (grandson) aged 20 and ready to be drafted. But in the meantime, customers still choose to eat with themselves. which can be opened for sale by yourself So my daughter still works full time and comes to help during the holidays. Saturday – Sunday Regarding the annual big festival At that time, it would take a lot of people to help sell as well, and grandchildren would come to help every time. “But how many ten years have we been selling? 40-50 years, we are not afraid, but recently, I admit that I am afraid! Why did many fall? Worshipers pay less respect, used to sell 400-500 kilos/day, now it’s 200-300 kilos, until we sold out, we almost got asthma. and take risks with it because the new generation can’t eat People like this can eat it once every time, most of them are old people who still eat. and people he knows If some of the younger generation like this don’t know how to eat I don’t know the word for Hainan Chinese dessert.”
