Again you have cooked something that I have been craving for. And there is no way I could find this dish in bangkok, so I will bookmark this recipe and make it happen real soon, thanks for sharing, Ann!!Very tempting photos…Sawadee from bangkok,Kris
Mrs Multitasker: Thanks, hope you'll try this out soon 😉
Thanks Karen for your compliment. I don't know the name in Chinese but already upload a picture of the wine so you'll know what is it. Can get this in supermarket like Cold storage or NTUC. There is also Red Sherry, remember to don't buy the red one. I used white sherry with hua tiao because this only give very mild flavour of the wine.
Krissy: Yes, this is similar to Hainanese chicken without adding the wine.
wow what a unique dish, sounds simple and nice…
