📙 THE STORY 📙

Now retired, my dad has over 50 years of experience as a Chinese chef. Everything he makes is SO GOOD. You won't regret trying this recipe!

Daddy Lau will be teaching us his recipe for white cut chicken, or bak chit gai in Cantonese, along with his deliciously addictive ginger scallion sauce to pair with it. He’ll also be teaching us the art of how to carve a chicken once it’s cooked, which is a traditional skill that I’ve always wanted to learn and pass on.
