Sesame Oil Chicken 麻油雞

Do you know that woman has 2 chances in their lifetime to 'change' their body health? Bet you are unaware. The 1st chance is during the puberty period and the next is during the confinement period. Many women that I come across often experiencing cold hands and feet and they tends to feel cold easily. My body condition was like that before I gave birth. Back then I often told my friends that if there is a choice, I would rather get hot to death. LOL.

For both of my confinement, I drank the red date with longan water 24/7 for 30 days. No plain and cold water at all. My longan water was a super power tonic water. It wasn't just any longan and red date water, it was with alot more herbs! My confinement food was with alot of ginger, sesame oil and chicken essence. My intake for the herbs was so much that SIL said I was super overloaded with them and was afraid that my nose might bleed anytime! Haha.

All those made a huge difference in my health.  I WASN'T AFRAID OF COLD ANYMORE! I don't need to cover myself with blanket when I sleep in the air con room. When everyone complain it is cold,  I said it is cooling. Amazing! My colleagues saw the difference in me and said that next time they sure to look for me when they are having their confinement.
