Save these dates.
From eleven May to 10 June, Debbie Teoh's Nonya nutrient advertisement is dorsum at Chatz Brasserie, Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. Famed for her Nonya dishes, this is the best chance to sample her repertoire at a eating theatre since she does to a greater extent than ofttimes than non catering.
Last year's (see the previous blogpost) advertisement received an overwhelming answer that she's dorsum alongside a bigger repertoire of dishes. If y'all are lucky, y'all may pick out deal of such sometime fashioned goodies similar this version of Seri Muka that combines the creamy pandan rice flour layer alongside a taro layer. Simple but darn satisfying.
Our tasting session started alongside Nasi Ulam, a dish much favoured past times Debbie herself every bit she ate loads of this dish afterward giving nativity to her kids. Nonya mothers volition ofttimes laid upwards this dish for their daughters to restore their trunk to a balanced yin-yang state.
The grooming of this aromatic dish is ofttimes used past times Nonya matriarchs to examination their daughter-in-laws inwards the fine fine art of cutting the herbs every bit finely every bit possible. You volition notice finely sliced turmeric root, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, turmeric leaf, cekur leafage too torch ginger flower.
Next it was the Itek tim, the savoury duck soup alongside salted mustard vegetables or kiam chai. Onions too shiitake mushrooms are likewise added inwards the soup. Not overly salty, this dish is boiled alongside spices such every bit nutmeg, peppercorns, ginger too garlic.
For the buffet spread, Debbie volition live on alternating this soup alongside final year's Hu Pioh T'ng (fish maw soup).
One of the biggest treats is the Ayam buah keluak, that uses the dark Indonesian dark nuts. These hardy nuts cause got fourth dimension to laid upwards since it needs to live on soaked for overnight earlier it tin live on cracked open. Its deep dark chocolate-brown filling has a meaty earthy gustatory modality that resemble mushrooms too chocolate. The nuts are cooked inwards a chicken curry. As Debbie shares, the flim-flam of getting it to gustatory modality too therefore practiced is to operate on it for 2 days for the flavours to develop.
Aubergine fans volition dear this Terung served alongside sambal udang kering that uses ane of the Nonya's must-have ingredients, dried prawns. It is a unproblematic dish alongside the aubergines that is fried too topped alongside the fragrant sambal to compass it flavour.
The Ulam platter is an assortment of fresh mint leaves, cucumbers too 4 angle beans that is served alongside a slightly piquant sambal dip that has dried prawns too chillies. Great excuse to swallow your greens alongside the delicious dip. My favourite was the fragrant mint leaves alongside a generous dose of the sambal dip.
I was a chip tiresome inwards opening upwards my Otak Otak package too was surprised to notice the aromatic kokosnoot milk based custard to live on filled alongside chunks of seafood such every bit fish fillet, prawns too squid. The aromatic daun kadok (wild pepper or betel leaf) is likewise added to each parcel. Eat this alongside rice but it is best eaten alongside staff of life that y'all tin mop upwards all the sugariness juices.
Next it was the Gulai Tumis Ikan Pari that uses stingray fish pieces that is cooked inwards a thick hot too sour curry broth. This definitely meant lots of rice to dyad alongside the wonderful curry.
This was my favourite that I could cause got eaten bowls of rice alongside simply the rich curry. The Lemak Nenas Ikan Sepat has pineapple chunks within the creamy curry. Salted fish gives the curry a slight border to alleviate its rich taste.
Bonus dish of the hateful solar daytime was fried fish served alongside a tangy mango acar.
It has been a hot hateful solar daytime alongside the Sun blazing too therefore it was overnice to cause got the refreshing cendol.
Unlike those commercial versions, the cendol strands are made from greenish pea flour mixed alongside fresh pandan leaves. That's why these strands cause got a deep jade greenish coloring versus those pale greenish ones nosotros unremarkably larn from the factories.
Last but non least, it was tiny nonya kueh inwards the cast of banana leafage wrapped sticky rice rolls alongside rempah udang. The slightly sugariness dried prawns filling has candied wintertime melon too toasted kerisik to compass it lots of flavour. We likewise larn to cause got away Nonya bak chang since the rice dumpling festival is simply circular the corner on June 23.
