So what’s the deal with Hainanese chicken chop? The Deep Dive team is pretty sure that they do not exist on Hainan Island. Even though Vic and Thet are still stuck on Christmas Island, their investigation must go on. The duo enlists the help of their awkward intern and trusty editor.

As the Singapore team go on a Hainanese chicken chop spree, they discover the origins of Hainanese chicken chop in Singapore through chats with chefs and a Hainanese history buff. But more importantly, the Singapore team presses on to answer Vic’s burning question: Why the heck are baked beans a side dish in Hainanese chicken chop?
