Kenny Chan from Malacca & Babi Pongteh Recipe

It was only recently that I discovered that I was related ( by marriage ) to the cross-dressing Peranakan stage actor and Master chef Kenny Chan. He has just opened a Peranakan restaurant in Malacca called Kapitan House. The address is 71 / 73 Jalan Melaka Tel 606 2826 525. Kenny also produces and sells ready-to-use rempahs like Babi Pongteh; Garam Assam and Nonya Sambal. They are all excellent and so easy to use. Unfortunately it is only available at limited outlets in Singapore; one of which is the kueh chang shop in Katong called Kim Choo. His Babi Pongteh Sauce is excellent and so easy to use in a crock pot. Use one kg of pork ribs and one pig's trotter chopped up. Add one bottle of Kenny's Babi Pongteh sauce. Using the sauce bottle add 2 equivalent portions of water. Add some bamboo shoot cut into bite-sized pieces and some black mushrooms cut into half. Cook this for 8-10 hours in the crock pot.....YUM!
