CINCALOK CHICKEN, SAMBAL CINCALOK AND CINCALOK OMELETTE

Cincalok is a paste of fermented small shrimp. It is usually served as a condiment together with chillis, shallots and lime juice. Popular among the Peranakan and synonymous with Malacca in fact it is a MUST BUY items if you visit Malacca. Not many people can accept cincalok, it's stinky and salty, but to cincalok lovers they can't leave without it. I am not a Cincalok fan but happened to try this recently. I started learning to cook cincalok when I saw the recipe from GoodFood Magazine on Easy Peranakan. The magazine featuring popular Peranakan dishes especially using cincalok prompt me to try. Lucky enough I managed to get a bottle of cincalok from the supermarket. Here are 3 popular cincalok recipes, Chicken Cincalok, Sambal Cincalok and Omelette Cincalok.

Saya memang tidak pernah memasak cincalok, malah memakanya pun jarang sekali. Tetapi entah kenapa baru-baru ini saya terpanggil untuk mencuba, mungkin cara persembahan majalah GoodFood mendorong saya untuk mencuba.  Saya masukkan resipi cincalok ini dalam list saya dan menantikan peluang untuk membeli cincalok. Ya lah bukan semudah itu untuk mendapatkanya.

Sebaik sahaja saya memperolehi cincalok saya terus mencuba tiga resipi cincalok yang popular iaitu, AYAM CINCALOK, SAMBAL CINCALOK dan TELUR DADAR CINCALOK.
Wee..... memang tidak disangka, sajian cincalok ini memang enak, cukup berselera dibuatnya. Sekarang Cincalok sudah masuk book, malah anak-anak saya pun sukakanya, terutama AYAM MASAK CINCALOK. ooiii, rugi kalau tidak mencubanya.
