Nyonya Devil Curry for Malaysian Food Fest...娘惹魔归咖哩献給马来西亚美食节

This is my third nyonya dish, Nyonya Devil Curry. This is a nyonya dish from the Southern Nyonya. 

The southern nyonya, on the other hand, tend to prepare food that is generally rich in coconut millk and Malay spices such as coriander and cumin. Sugar is quite liberally featured in the recipes of southern cuisine. One very unique style of the nyonya cuisine is their imaginative ways of preparing fruits and vegetables. Sweet potatoes leaves,  tiny sour carambola, unripe jackfruit and the heart of banana bud are all transformed in the kitchen, added to and blended with aromatic leaves such as kaffir lime, tumeric, pandan, and laksa leaf. This gives a good balance of tastes in meals...this is a little from this book (Northern and Southern Nyonya Cuisne)

Back to my nyonya dish that i am going to share today. It is Nyonya Devil Curry.


I am quite curious how DEVIL is this Nyonya Devil Curry. When i study the recipe i found that the dried chilies is a lot, that means this will be very very hot.

These are all or part of the ingredients i prepared. I replace the dried chilies with 'chili guling'.
I pounded all my with my tradisional lesung ( pestel and mortar)



I like the taste of this Devil Curry, it is tangy sourish and hot. I like the taste of the roasted pork cooked in it.

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
