As an 80’s kid, I remember fondly of how my childhood home would smell like whenever my mum made chicken essence, from scratch. The warmth and dampness in the air. That aroma of chicken filled up the kitchen, and you can smell it from my room. We lived in a tiny 2-bedroom apartment.

And that’s all we had as a natural supplement back then. Someone’s not well, chicken essence. Haven’t been sleeping well, chicken essence. Need to study for an exam, chicken essence. Chicken essence is what we always go for. 

It is also a symbol of love. It shows that you care when you present someone with chicken essence.

I once tried to make it on my own – the traditional way of extracting chicken essence, by inverting a small bowl over a large bowl, placing the chicken meat around it and steam, just to get the tiny bowl of “liquid gold”. Never again! So troublesome.

Chicken essence really does boost my energy. However, with my busy schedule, juggling between my businesses and my children, it’s kinda impossible to brew my own every week.

Recently, I was introduced to Tian Yuan Xiang (田原香) Chicken Essence. Compared to having to extract the “liquid gold” myself, this is so convenient. All I have to do is warm it up and I’ll get to enjoy the authentic, concentrated and flavourful chicken essence, just like the ones my mom used to make.

Traditional Drip Chicken Essence

Tian Yuan Xiang Chicken Essence originated in Taiwan, enduring a traditional technique of extracting “Drip Chicken Essence” (滴鸡精) by steaming a whole chicken with charcoal over a few hours, to extract out it’s pure drop of nutrients, without adding any water into it. And it goes through multiple oil filtering processes, to ensure we get to enjoy it’s pure essence, with zero fat and low calories.

Tian Yuan Xiang packs them into small individual packs, you’ll just have to heat it up in a steam cooker or microwave before enjoying it. It tastes rich and sweet. I could drink it all day long.

Compared to the bottled-kind, Tian Yuan Xiang chicken essence doesn’t have the strange fishy taste. Finally, I found a chicken essence that my kids love too. Now I get why it’s so popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
