Porto-Novo is the capital of Benin. The commune covers an area of 110 square kilometres and as of 2002 had a population of 223,552 people; as the name suggests, Porto-Novo was developed as a port for the slave trade led by the Portuguese Empire. Porto-Novo is a port on an inlet of the Gulf of Guinea, in the southeastern portion of the country, it is Benin's second-largest city, although Porto-Novo is the official capital, where the national legislature sits, the larger city of Cotonou is the seat of government, where most of the government buildings are situated and government departments operate. The name Porto-Novo is of Portuguese origin meaning "New Port", it remains untranslated in the national language of Benin. Porto-Novo was once a tributary of the Yoruba kingdom of Oyo, which had offered it protection from the neighbouring Fon, who were expanding their influence and power in the region; the Yoruba community in Porto-Novo today remains one of the two ethnicities aboriginal to the city.

The city was called Ajashe by the Yorubas, Hogbonu by the Gun. Although the original inhabitants of the area were Yoruba speaking, there seems to have been a wave of migration from the region of Allada further west in the 1600s, which brought Te-Agbalin and his group to the region of Ajashein 1688; this new group brought with them their own language, settled among the original Yoruba. It would appear that each ethnic group has since maintained their ethnic idenitites without one group being linguistically assimilated into the other. In 1730, the Portuguese Eucaristo de Campos named the city "Porto-Novo" because of its resemblance to the city of Porto, it was developed as a port for the slave trade. In 1861, the British, who were active in nearby Nigeria, bombarded the city, which persuaded the Kingdom of Porto-Novo to accept French protection in 1863; the neighbouring Kingdom of Dahomey objected to French involvement in the region and war broke out between the two states. In 1883, Porto-Novo was incorporated into the French "colony of Dahomey and its dependencies" and in 1900, it became Dahomey's capital city.

As a consequence, a community that had exhibited endoglossic bilingualism now began to exhibit exoglossic bilingualism, with the addition of French to the language repertoire of the city's inhabitants. Unlike the city's earlier Gun migrants, the French sought to impose their language in all spheres of life and stamp out the use and proliferation of indigenous languages; the kings of Porto-Novo continued to rule in the city and unofficially, until the death of the last king, Alohinto Gbeffa, in 1976. From 1908, the king held the title of Chef supérieur. Many Afro-Brazilians settled in Porto-Novo following their return to Africa after emancipation in Brazil. Brazilian architecture and foods are important to the city's cultural life. Under French colonial rule, flight across the new border to British-ruled Nigeria in order to avoid harsh taxation, military service and forced labour was common. Of note is the fact that the Nigeria-Benin southern border area arbitrarily cuts through contiguous areas of Yoruba and Egun-speaking people.

A combination of the aforementioned facts, coupled with the fact that the city itself lies within the sphere of Nigerian socioeconomic influence, have given Porto-Novians a preference for some measure of bi-nationality or dual citizenship, with the necessary linguistic consequences. Benin's parliament is in Porto-Novo, the official capital, but Cotonou is the seat of government and houses most of the governmental ministries; the region around Porto-Novo produces palm oil and kapok. Petroleum was discovered off the coast of the city in the 1990s, has since become an important export. Porto-Novo has a cement factory; the city is home to a branch of the Banque Internationale du Bénin, a major bank in Benin, the Ouando Market. Porto-Novo is served by an extension of the Bénirail train system. Owned motorcycle taxis known as zemijan are used throughout the city; the city is located about 40 kilometres away from Cotonou Airport, which has flights to major cities in West Africa and Europe. Porto-Novo had an enumerated population of 264,320 in 2013.

The residents are Yoruba and Gun people as well as people from other parts of the country, from neighbouring Nigeria.

Hainanese chicken rice is a dish of poached chicken and seasoned rice, served with chilli sauce and with cucumber garnishes. It was created by immigrants from Hainan in southern China and adapted from the Hainanese dish Wenchang chicken, it is considered one of the national dishes of Singapore and is most associated with Singaporean cuisine but is seen throughout Southeast Asia Malaysia where it is a culinary staple. Hainanese chicken rice is a dish adapted from early Chinese immigrants from Hainan province in southern China, it is based on a well-known Hainanese dish called Wenchang chicken, one of four important Hainan dishes dating to the Qin dynasty. The Hainanese in China traditionally used the Wenchang chicken, to make the dish; the original dish was adapted by the Hainanese overseas Chinese population in the Nanyang area. Every country in Asia with a history of immigration from China has a version; the San Francisco Chronicle says, "the dish maps 150 years’ immigration from China's Hainan Island...to Singapore and Malaysia, where the dish is known as Hainan chicken rice.

In Singapore, the dish was born out of frugality, created by servant-class immigrants trying to stretch the flavour of the chicken. The first chicken rice restaurants opened in Singapore during Japanese occupation in World War II, when the British were forced out and their Hainanese servants lost their source of income. One of the first was Yet Con; the dish was popularised in Singapore in the 1950s by Moh Lee Twee, whose Swee Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant operated from 1947 to 1997. Hong Kong food critic Chua Lam credits Moh with the creation of the dish. Channel News Asia's Annette Tan credits Wang Yiyuan for "bringing the dish" to Singapore in the 1920s. Hainanese chicken rice is considered one of Singapore's national dishes, it is eaten "everywhere, every day" in Singapore and is a "ubiquitous sight in hawker centres across the country". While most associated with Singaporean cuisine, the dish is seen throughout Southeast Asia and in parts of the United States; the dish is popular in Singapore and can be found in most coffee shops and food courts.

In a debate that stretches back decades to 1965, when the two countries split, both Malaysia and Singapore have laid claim to inventing the dish. In 2009 Malaysia's Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said that Hainanese chicken rice was "uniquely Malaysian" and had been "hijacked" by other countries. Ng clarified that she was misquoted on her intention to patent the foods, that a study on the origins of the foods would be conducted "and an apology conveyed if it was wrongly claimed."In 2018 Malaysian Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng joked that Singapore claimed "chicken rice is theirs if we’re not careful, ‘char koay teow‘ will become theirs" one day. Catherine Ling of CNN called Hainanese chicken rice one of the "40 Singapore foods we can't live without", it was listed as one of the "World's 50 best foods" by CNN in 2018. David Farley of the BBC called it "the dish worth the 15-hour flight" and said it was "deceptively simple –, good, because on paper it sounds awfully boring." Saveur called it "one of the most beloved culinary exports of Southeast Asia."

The chicken is prepared in accordance with traditional Hainanese methods, which involve poaching the entire chicken at sub-boiling temperatures to both cook the bird and produce the stock. The bird is hung to dry; the stock is skimmed of fat and some of the fat and liquid, along with ginger and pandan leaves, are used in the cooking of the rice, producing an oily, flavourful rice sometimes known as "oily rice". In Singapore "the most important part of chicken rice is not the chicken, but the rice."The dish is served with a dipping sauce of freshly minced red chilli and garlic accompanied with dark soy sauce and freshly ground ginger. Fresh cucumber boiled in the chicken broth and light soy sauce with a dash of sesame oil is served with the chicken, served at room temperature; some stalls may serve nonya achar as an additional side. In Malaysia, nasi ayam is "a culinary staple" and a popular street food in Ipoh, a center of Hainanese immigration; the general term nasi ayam can refer to multiple variations including roasted and fried chicken, can be served with a variety of sauces including barbecue, can be accompanied by a variety of side dishes including steamed rice rather than seasoned'oily' rice, soup, or chicken offal.

In Malacca and Muar, the rice is served in balls rather than in bowls. Steamed rice is served alongside the chopped chicken. Hainanese chicken rice is a common dish in Thailand where it is called khao man kai meaning "chicken-fat rice"; the chickens used in Thailand for this dish can be free range chickens of local breeds, resulting in a leaner and tastier dish, but meat chickens from large scale poultry farms are being used. Khao man kai is served with a garnish of cucumbers and chicken blood tofu and fresh coriander, along with a bowl of nam sup, a clear chicken broth which contains sliced daikon; the accompanying sauce is most made with tauchu, thick soy sauce, ginger and vinegar. One famous Bangkok neighbourhood for Khao man kai is Pratunam in Ratchathewi district, located near to Platinum Fashion
