Party Food : Smoked Salmon Tartlets

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Feeling very homesick for the comfort foods of home, namely Hainanese Chicken Rice. Used to be able to just pop down to the nearest hawker center to get my fill, but not anymore. Here in Europe I have to make many of these delectable dishes on my own, from scratch. Lucky for me, this isn’t a complex dish to recreate.
