For me roast chicken was never a comfort food. Coming from a new age Chinese family food is always done in the local Malaysian way. Growing up we were never given roasted chicken in the great Western way and being different always felt terrible for growing up me. I was always in loved with friends whose moms are into western food be it just a simple tuna sandwhich, it was special to me. However, as I get older and hopefully wiser I knows deep down I am a very simple Malaysian girl with the passion to eat my local special fusion food like the currys, assam pedas dishes, steam fish in chinese ways, porridge with salted egg and fremented beancurd, strew tofu with eggs and meats.... the list goes on and on.
Since coming here I have limited choice and now I have to learn to cook food that suit both of us. The beautiful act of compromised in a mix marriage. So I have to repeatedly tried out new recipes. This is one of the special roast chicken that I would share with all of you. This is also the roast chicken that my baby girl loves very much.
