Hainanese Chicken Made Easy

    One dish that became my favorite was Hainanese Chicken Rice. I first tried this dish when I was in Singapore with my husband, Tommy and my daughter, Cham. Tommy's cousin who was based in Singapore that time, introduced this dish and instantly it became our favorite. I remember ordering this dish during our 3-day stay there in every restaurant we went trying which one is the best and we never got tired eating it.

    Back home, I bought a cookbook with Hainanese Chicken Rice recipe just to be able to eat again this dish. But I never tried cooking it because the procedure is quite complicated.Then I remember cooking a dish similar to this which I got from a very old cookbook I bought when I was starting family. The taste is very similar to Hainanese Chicken Rice but the way of cooking it is so easy that even a neophyte in the kitchen can successfully cook it. I would like to share this and I will call it Hainanese Chicken Made Easy.
