Satay Babi Goreng or simply satay babi is a humble Peranakan dish consisting of sliced pork, rempah (a peranakan version of mirepoix), coconut milk which is stir fried. Very simple yet incredibly satisfying but, I always wonder why the dish is termed "satay" (babi is pork in malay), when it is not skewered like the usual satay (why not babi masak lemak? i.e. pork cooked in coconut milk) nor does it taste like the usual satay. I do own a quite an amount of Peranakan cooking book but none of them explains how this name came about. Anyone knows why it's called satay?

Nasi Jenganan ナシ・ジェンガナン

Anybody heard of nasi jenganan? I've always spotted this at the stalls in Geylang Serai Food Centre but never really ordered it. So one day, I ordered a kuah jenganan at Hajah Mona Nasi Padang. As I ordered some of my favorite Padang dishes, the stall owner topped my one dish plate with the Jenganan gravy which is a thick sweet peanut gravy. Then I realized that if you happened to choose sweet Padang dishes, you end up having an incredibly sweet stuff. It would have been a better choice have I ordered deep fried items and/or hot and sour dishes to complement the sweetness.
