We originally stumbled upon this dish at a restaurant in Klang, and since it was quite an eye, or taste bud opener, I decided to re-create the same thing in our own kitchen. The result was pretty decent. So if you want to try something perhaps a little different at home, this recipe should fit the bill.

The version in the picture has a bit too much cooking oil to it, so with a little less oil it should be perfect, happy cooking!
