enjoy your Shao Hsing Wine Chicken responsibily

because i knew a friend that do not take alchohol

becomes abit dispy after taking this dish ...

actually if u like the taste of the wine ... like i do

i'll throw 5 spoonfull of Shao Hsing Wine 30 second

to boil before i dish out ... hahahahahha so that

to get the kick of the alchohol hahahahhahahhaha

actually to be frank, this is my 2nd attempt and i have

nailed it ... my 1st attempt i finish up 3/4 of the wine

hahahahahah it turns bitter hahahahhahahaha

because i can't get the taste of that shop i ate

so i add it more wine ... and more and more

i realise that you really need to get the pagoda

brand to just add in 1/6 will do the trick
