    Yum! This looks tasty. As a Filipino, I usually take it one step further and fry the rice as well. Great post!

    Yum! i love the addition of ginger, garlic and pandan leaves. I miss pandan leaves-fresh for sure! we can only get frozen one!! My grandma sometimes also put a cube of chicken stock in the rice which works good too!

    I love the smell of chicken rice filling my house when cooking it. I always have to cook extra rice when it is chicken rice.

    Serving such fragrant rice with steamed chicken is most welcomed; I'd be equally happy with a dish of veggie or fish : ).

    I always cheat by using the chicken rice paste to make the rice but your recipe looks really doable! After a few weeks abroad, I'm really starting to crave good chicken rice!

    I will always choose steamed chicken over fried. I can eat chicken rice with chilli sauce and be very satisfied.

    Beautiful photo. I've never heard of pandan! Is it similar to any (more conventional) herb?

    Would love to try this recipe the coming weekend. We have never been able to steam fragrant rice using rice cooker. We use the old-time steamer instead. Beautiful pictures, and I love all your recipes!
