Professional Chef Recipes: Sambal Hijau at Fu Xiang Signatures

Some of us shares recipe online, in fact many people are doing the same especially homemakers & SAHM bloggers. There are plenty of recipes being shared all over different online sites or platforms, but I rarely sees professional Chef or F&B business owners sharing such. 
I was pretty impressed that Fu Xiang Signatures are sharing recipes deep down from their heart. If you've read my blog recently, you must have read "Curry Party at Fu Xiang Signature". After our eating session, we got to try the practical session of making hot and spicy Sambal Hijau with the owner of Fu Xiang Signatures.
