Description

This is not the usual Satay peanut sauce you usually have. There is nothing peanuty in this! You may also know this as Sambal Buah Keras (Candlenut Sambal).

This is another Peranakan dish that you do not usually hear of unless you grew up in a Peranakan household. In this dish, pieces of chicken are stewed till tender in a spicy and aromatic sauce.

How to Eat

Like the Pongteh dish, this dish tastes even better if you let it sit for a short while in the pot, letting the chicken absorb all the goodness of the gravy.
