Soup: Chinese Herb Chicken Soup (Slow cook)

Ingredient
-1st buy the Chinese herb at any Chinese medicine shop. Tell them that u want to slow cook ("dun tang") the chicken then they will select the herb for u. One packet with various soup ingredient is around RM6

3. Kampung chicken - Different bred from cai yuan chicken, usually rear by malays, slow to grow. more expensive than cai yuan chicken, harder meat.
4. Black chicken - are more nutritious than normal white chicken.
