Best Of Malaysia Nyonya Cuisine promo offers taste of buah keluak

It's not on the list of 101 Near Extinct Food drawn up by the National Heritage Department but it should be. The rather rare Ayam Buah Keluak is a chicken curry with a distinctive taste of buah keluak, a black nut (Pangium edule) found in South-East Asia and the Pacific Islands.

The dish is found more on the southern parts of the Peninsula, among the Melaka and Singapore Peranakans. Outside of this community, it is not much known.
