Sweet sales for salty acar


Sought-after dish: Tengku Hayati spooning the acar at her home in Taman Wangi in Gua Musang, Kelantan. — Bernama

GUA MUSANG: Each time the month of Ramadan arrives, a salted fish acar maker here will have her hands full meeting the orders for the dish that is usually enjoyed as an appetiser or side dish when breaking fast and during sahur.

Tengku Hayati Akmal Tengku Hitam, 65, said her salted fish acar featured a mix of sour, sweet, salty and spicy flavours that also came from the crisp pickled onion in it, which made so many dishes taste better.
