My family likes Loh Mai Kai very much... and my hubby always ta-pak (doggie-bag) from the nearby foodcourt for $1.50 each.I picked up some chicken fillets from NTUC this morning and decided to try to make some Loh Mai Kai. Beside the economics, home made is also a healthier choice as we use less oil and salt.
The recipe I used today is contributed by Gina @Kitchen Capers.
