Taiwanese Ceramic Kiln-Roast Chicken is almost a must-order dish hither in addition to diners would stimulate got to select betwixt Original, Spicy, Sugar-Cane in addition to Garlic-flavored Chicken; Original in addition to Sugar-Cane are with the most ordered ones. We had the Sugar-Cane flavored Chicken but it barely registered whatever sweetness or distinctive flavors of the Sugar-Cane. We could discovery a hint of Chinese Herbs but the seasoning was rather weak. We had to rely on the Five-Spice Powder equally dip for the salinity. Texture was non silky smooth, but similar whatever ordinary Roast Chicken (probably the selling signal is the gimmicky presentation). Steamed iii Eggs in addition to the Stir Fried Vegetables were standard-average.
