I have so many Malaysian favourites its always so hard to choose.
- Laksa, coconut or Asam
- Mee goreng
- Char kway teow
- Rendang
- Nasi lemak
and of course the delicious
Hainanese chicken rice, also 'claimed' as a S
ingaporean dish as well as its Chinese heritage from
Hainan in China. The whole chicken gently poached in rich stock (master stock in China) and the rice cooked in stock enriched with chicken fat, the stock served as a broth with the final dish together with a
chilli, ginger sauce and sliced cucumber. It seems a bit like a 'deconstructed' chicken soup, with a twist! And despite my Western culinary background I think I have adopted this dish as 'comfort food'.

ReplyDeleteinteresting fact, i've never thought of it as a deconstructed chicken soup, its like a one pot wonder, serve it with a few slice of cucumber and its a meal.
