Peranakan Cuisine
Peranakan Cuisine is a unique blend of Chinese and Malay culinary traditions, originating from the descendants of Chinese immigrants who settled in the Malay Archipelago. This cuisine is characterized by its use of bold flavors, aromatic spices, and fresh ingredients, often featuring dishes that combine elements from both cultures.
Common ingredients in Peranakan Cuisine include coconut milk, lemongrass, and tamarind, which contribute to its rich and complex flavors. Popular dishes include Nasi Lemak, a fragrant rice dish served with various accompaniments, and Ayam Buah Keluak, a chicken dish cooked with a distinctive black nut.
