My favourite!

Lemon chicken is proabably my favourite chinese dish in the whole wide world.

There's a place called "singgah selalu" (i know... what a name!) back home where they have the best lemon chicken in Johor Bahru. my good friend yoyo and i'd definitely order it everytime we're there.

If not for us being here, and far from "singgah selalu", i'd never know how simple to make this dish.

My first attempt to it failed. it was very sour and bitter, i put way too much lemon in it. all it takes is just one whole lemon, and the trick to it is to add a little chicken stock.

Anyway, we had this couple of days back. no more ready made sauces! hoera!
