Chicken, Cordyceps Flower and Mushroom – ah, even just typing it up makes my mouth water – is a Chinese dish that’s often served here in Singapore.  There’s plenty of variations to the “steamed chicken with rice” dish, one of them,  Hainanese Chicken Rice, is sold at almost all the kopitiams and hawker centers in the island. 

This is the recipe that I used for the #52WeeksofCooking challenge over on Reddit last year.
