Guangxi Steamed Chicken 广西白切鸡 - Malaysia Food Fest - Pahang

Guangxi Steamed Chicken

Recalling that I 1st tasted this Guangxi Steamed Chicken, not in Pahang, nor  in Guangxi, China, but in a food court in Sdyney during my recent trip in Australia.   ^_^   The texture of the chicken is soft and tender compliments with the condiments and the aroma of sesame oil, it was superb.  At that moment was telling myself my try out the recipe when I am back in Malaysia.  And  I'd summed up the condiments is the combination of  spring onion, ginger,  garlic/shallots and sesame oil. until I came across the dish prepared by  Wendy of Table for 2,  prepared the dish, then only realizied it is kuchai  (chinese chives) and not spring onion or is it spring onion!!??   Haha...    I am a bit blur to differentiate!  ^_^ 

 This  steamed chicken is to pair with the curry mee to become a set meal.   The set cost A$9.90

 The bowl of curry laksa with the tender chicken is  A$8.90.  With A$1/- extra one get the set meal of the above.

Anyway that is all for the meal in Australia.  



TAATA,  armed with the recipe from Wendy I prepared the lazy mama style of Quangxi Steamed Chicken.

 Mamamia!!  I  can finish this half  Guangxi Steamed chicken all by myself le!   haha....

Before adding  the 'nam'

 

 The condiment 'Nam" that made the difference for this steamed Chicken
