Description

A classic Peranakan dish. This hearty and flavourful stew is one of the most significant dishes in every Peranakan household. Chicken pieces paired with potatoes and dried shittake mushrooms simmered in a rich fermented soybean paste sauce that is made fragrant with tons of shallots and garlic.

How to Eat

Rice : Best served with rice and a dollop of Sambal Belacan, or some freshly cut chillies in soy sauce. You'd be salivating at every single spoonful of rice.

Bread : If you feel like eating it the non-traditional way, you can have this with bread. Cut up some bird's eye chilli, sprinkle it into a bowl of Agak Agak Nyonya Pongteh, and just celup (dip) your bread away!
