Well, yes and no. I am not a particularly good cook to begin
with, and the ingredients necessary for authentic S'pore food are rather hard
to come by in this part of the country.
Last night, per a good friend's suggestion, we headed to downtown
Minneapolis for dinner at a recently-opened Asian restaurant called
The Peninsula. Surprisingly, they had a number of recognizably
Malaysian/Singapore dishes on the menu, like ayam and beef rendang,
and--get this--HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE! 
Needless to say, I ordered that, and was rather surprised at its
authenticity. It even came with the ginger and chilli sauce, and
real black sauce (hak
yao). They even served it with the proper rice that was
cooked in chicken fat/stock. All in all, not a bad find, even if
the price was a bit steep (US$10 for a two-serving portion). I'll
probably be heading back there again to try some of the other
selections on their menu.
