騸雞窩 Castrated chicken casserole

Haven't come across this kind of chicken for so many years and maybe it's in my grandma's era. Back to the old days, this one and Lon Kong chicken 龍崗雞 were some very familiar names. So when I noticed this on the new menu of Jade Garden HK, I promptly ordered one. The strong chicken flavour, especially the protein meaty aroma is the essence of this chicken. The chef was very clever to put some winter melon in it to absorb the nice flavour of this chicken. The pleasant feeling is that I feel like my old family members were around me. A magic of food. So healing.

Yes I had the same feeling too when I eat certain food then all the memory of the good old days came back like a time machine.
That is the reason we are attached so certain food or certain places as it has the underlying sentimental value.
That is why the Taiwan movie "Na Say Lien" is so popular as it brings back all our memory of our "Na Say Lien"........
That is also the reason why I am so attached to "Garden" products and Jade Channel as they are my "Na Say Lien"........

I just came to this restaurant again tonight for that memory and also to support it. Not many appreciate this kind of casserole as far as I notice from other tables.
