Warm comfort food at its best !
Old Hong Kong Essence Chinese Herbal Chicken

My favourite dish as it is super nourishing with healthy nutrients with rich flavoursome soup and you can actually eat the whole chicken as it has absorbed the flavours of the herbal ingredients. The meat is actually quite succulent and not tough.

A dish that i would highly recommend for the healthy benefits and values and the efforts taken to cook this dish is definitely time consuming, probable best to just visit Old Hong Kong Essence for the soup as its simply home cooked goodness with no MSG than to spend endless hours at home making the soup.
