This dish used to be on any chinese restaurant's menu of yesteryears and i wonder if it is still as popular. It is one of my favorite dish to prepare - the saltiness of the ham enhances the smooth velvety chicken, and the luscious green , crunchy kai lan gives a touch of sweetness. I garnished with a couple of spoonfuls of XO Sauce - homemade of course. This dish is easily prepared if you have leftover White cooked chicken, then you only have to cook the kai lan and assemble the dish.

Auntie Lily, you are right this dish was the one of the popular dishes served in the restaurant during my young time, always served when I follow my parent to dine there. Currently I also see steam chicken topped with minced ginger served in restaurant here in malaysia, an interesting dish too.
