    我想问，为何要放在锡泊纸上去蒸呢？
    有什么用意吗？

    spdong, actually with or without foil also ok. i just like to keep it warm with foil and also avoid steaming water drip into the chicken dish..

    I am not familiar with the ingredients. But I was wondering whether it is good for mothers that just gave birth.

    Really nice but "tang kuai" is not suitable for me! Everytime I eat "tang kuai" I will feel sick.

    This is not just a nutritious dish alone; it must be very nourishing too; with the 'tang kuei' ingredient :)

    sohcool, you need to remove
    "Tong Kue" only if you going to prepare for small kid like below 3 years old.

    I love this recipe Sonia! I have lots of those herbs in the fridge that my mother in law left in the fridge (and I haven't used at all..haha). Thanks for the recipe. Will try when I come back!

    Minimal seasoning is good! I like this style. The herbs will just shine with the chicken after steaming.

    This dish is beautiful. I'm not sure I can find all the ingredients here, but likely some similar things to substitute. Perfect use for some of our local chicken in the freezer.

    Yum! I love simple dishes such as this and with chinese herbs too! Delicious with a bowl of steaming white rice to drizzle the sauce with.

    I made this the other day, Sonia. It was fantastic! I love the taste of the herbs and it's definitely different to how we usually prepare chicken. Thanks for the recipe!
