Orange Chicken


I remembered my first time of trying this dish, my family can't get enough of it.  Hubby asked why not prepare for more, i told him that is the trick so that they will miss it.  True enough, this is now one of my hubby's favorite dish.  He enjoyed this so much so that he got me more oranges so that i can make this dish more frequent.  ;P

The orange slices used to decorate the dish can be a after meal dessert and my girls just love them, they sometime 'fight' for it.  Whenever i prepare the orange slices for them, they don't seem to be so excited of having it though.  I guess it's how the food was presented that caught their excitement to 'fight' for it.  ;)
