This morning I cooked Hainanese Chicken Rice for my 4yo gal as lunch later. She told me last night that she wants to eat chicken rice. Thanks to my Hainanese mother in law that taught me how to cook it quite longtime ago. But today I can get the right taste like hers.
I used sushi rice to cook instead normal fragrance rice. The rice texture of every single rice is very QQ!! With the fragrance of butter, shallot and pandan leave, the chicken rice is truly delicious and I wish to have a bowl or two too.... and I cooked the rice with the chicken soup instead of plain water. Guess this is also made my chicken rice so yummy today...
昨晚宝宝对妈咪说要吃鸡饭。嗯。。可以啦！今天的鸡饭实在是太太太好吃哦!用了寿司米煮的米饭，香喷喷Q弹好吃。妈咪吃了一口，真的回味无穷。。。
