I love your website! It’s so important to keep nyonya cooking alive. My late grandmother made this every Chinese New Year and everytime I eat it I remember her and all the New Years we had at her house. Keep up the great work!

真的好吃，比中国四川川菜鱼好得多。他们也用芥菜。但是不是那么好吃

太感谢你呢。

So yummy! better than Si Chuan, Chuan Cai Yu (one dish of soup) a lot (they use fish)

Thankyou!

oooh… just to mention. I intend to make chai buey one of these days. What sorts of leftovers do you think are best suited for this? I had chai buey with leftover roast duck and siew yoke and it was unbelievable! But we don’t have these 2 lying around very often (gets polished off before I realize it).

I cooked this dish when my hubby requested. My hubby from Taiwan, he love it after the 1st try. Sometime we bought roast chicken from costco than he will asked slice the meat and save the chicken bones.

Jayne – Ayam pongteh is a Melaka Nyonya dish and my family has never made it. I have seen the recipe before it shouldn’t be too hard to cook. Good luck.

Bee, I am planning to cook ayam pongteh for tonight’s dinner and wondered if you had the recipe. :-) Goggle is a good help, nonetheless. I just want to say that every single time I come to your nyonya site, I can never help myself but to come back and look at this recipe yet another time. I loooove chai buey so much but rarely get it at my local chap fan place. LOL. Anyway, good eye food for me today. Thanks for your lovely site!

Mmm thanks for a great trip down memory lane. Wow, so many other homesick Malaysians and Penangites! Just need to check if my memory is correct. I faintly recall being told when I was young that anything can be added except for fish, seafood and taufoo. Is this right? In your pic, I think I see a piece that looks like fried taufoo or taupok – or is my eyesight getting worse than my memory lol! Also, thanks for the tip on the taucheo. Is this your own discovery or a tradition, ie from adding dishes like pongteh or dishes that were cooked with taucheo for reunion dinner? Tia!
