Coconut milk and chicken are made for each other. In fact, I only picked up those very same ingredients for a Laksa earlier today. I would love to try this with my new friends who are newly-weds, (one of them is Filipino.) I definitely need her to adopt me and feed me some of this 🙂

Ginger and chilis are a favorite in our home. I love the ginger and my boys of course love the chilis so certain this dish would be a big hit. So many people are sick in HK with the change of seasons and this would be the perfect dish to help you recover from a cold. Have a super week. Take Care, BAM

This definitely goes well with steamed rice! We were only able to taste a version of this dish once but it was so good. Thanks for the recipe.

We’re still having cold weather. This looks like it would warm me up quite nicely.

I cooked this and made my own version. I agree that chicken and coconut are made for each other! It is really a tinola taken into a different level with the creamy touch of coconut and the spicy kick of chilies. I will be cooking it again and again! 🙂
Thanks for trying it out 🙂
