Updating a Traditional Peranakan Dish

Ayam Buah Keluak is a well known Peranakan dish, the traditional recipe calls for pork ribs and/or minced pork in addition to chicken (ayam). I usually leave out the pork as it becomes too heavy meat wise.
Preparation of this dish is usually labor intensive especially with the buak keluak seeds. Each seed had to be cracked and the flesh extracted for blending before it is stuffed back into the shell again. These days I just buy the buah keluak flesh from KK market (aka Zhujiao Centre or Tekka Market) mince it up and blend with fish paste and some mince meat and make buah keluak meatballs. Here's where you can find the best recipe Makansutra.
