【Ayam Buah Keluak— 鶏肉とブラックナッツの煮込み】

It is a significant Peranakan dish that well loved by many locals here. My recent trip to Malakka mede me determined to cook it myself! The most tedious part is the preparation of the Buah Keluak. The seeds got to be soaked in water for 3 days and then to cut open each shell before being cooked. The Buah Keluak tree, native to this region, procures a large poisonous fruit which can be made edible by fermentation. Ayam Buah Keluak dish requires to use the seeds that previously extracted of poison. The taste resemblance to a smoky mushroom or strong-flavoured truffles which is definitely an acquired taste. You got to taste it!

中華とマレー文化を融合させたペラナカン文化発祥の地マラッカで生まれたアヤム・ブアクルア。ペラナカン料理の代表でもあり最も人気のある一品でしょう。硬い殻に覆われたブア・クルアの実は三日間水につけてから、皮の一部に包丁で穴を開ける。。準備段階に８割を費やし、いざ料理はいたってシンプル。この黒い実を一度食べたら病み付きになる、一度試して頂きたい。
