Samsui chicken looks pretty much similar to the steamed chicken that comes in our Hainanese chicken rice that you usually eat except that we usually dip the chicken with a fragrant garlic ginger sauce instead of garlic chilli sauce. The cooking method of the chicken is pretty close to chicken rice's poached chicken. Samsui chicken is known to be a luxurious dish that is prepared by the samsui women only once a year on Chinese New Year.
