Sudden crave for steamed chicken and the fragrant buttery chicken rice with the nice aroma of ginger. So this is my simple version of chicken rice for the family over the weekend. Not the best compared with others cos' the quantity is really small but we enjoyed the meal very much. The steamed chicken was so tender and sweet.
