Taste better than it looks

For sometime now, I've been wanting to try making the steamed herbal chicken dish.

I looked at those readymix herbal packets and saw MSG listed as one of the ingredients. Which sort of defeats the purpose of making the dish for the nutritional value. Well, one can't expect much herbal goodness coming from a $2.50 packet.

So I googled and this recipe seems easy enough. Plus, it's tried and tested.

When I look through the list of herbs, they all sound like what my mum use for the soups/herbal stuff she makes.

I showed her the list and true enough, she has almost all the herbal ingredients and packed them for me.
At that moment, the fridge really became my 药材店.

Much as I wanted to experiment the recipe, dinner tonight was prepared by my helper. She was so enthusiastic and efficient, the dish was fully prepared when I reached home.
But I ain't complaining.
Though the dish doesn't look salivating, it's simple tasty goodness.
