Cassia Flower Pudding 桂花糕

Shanghainese Dessert
This Shanghainese dessert is new to me. Cassia flower is very fragrant. However the pudding itself is extremely sticky. Quite difficult to lift it from the dish.

My Favourite Sichuan Smoked Duck
My niece bought me dim sum lunch today. We went to Tanyoto, one of the most authentic Sichuan restaurants in Hong Kong. Smoked duck is one of my most favourite Sichuan dishes. However I still think that the smoked duck that I ate at the Sichuan Restaurant within Prince Gong Palace in Beijing is the best.

Cantonese Slow Cooking Ginseng Chicken Soup 廣東老火湯
Chinese believe that ginseng is very good to health. I use some fresh ginseng to made the famous Cantonese slow cooking Ginseng Chicken soup. I live alone and cannot eat one whole chicken. Luckily supermarket has some chicken bones on sale which is only good for soup making.
Cooking method
- Clean 3 stems of fresh ginseng, Chinese herbs and chicken bone
- Par boil chicken bone to get rid of excess fat
- Boil 4 bowls of water
- Tuck ginseng into chicken tummy and add to water together with other ingredients
- When reboil, turn down heat and let it simmer for an hour
- Turn to high heat for 3 minutes
- Add salt before dishing up
