The mixture of exotic ingredients like cinnamon stick, star anise, palm sugar and fermented bean paste makes this dish simply amazing. The taste is really delectable, especially the gravy.

This recipe was given to my mom by one of my aunts from Malacca. It is a typical Peranakan dish. The combinations of the ingredients work well to enhance the flavour of this wonderful dish.

It is salty but sweet at the same time. Trust me, it is not a weird combination at all. I have to admit that this dish tastes even better overnight even though I do not like to consume overnight food. The potatoes taste so good when infused with the fermented bean paste and palm sugar.

Originally, this dish is cooked with pork and potatoes without the extra herbs like cloves, star anise or dried bean curds. I personally love the herbs combination as it makes the dish exceptionally flavourful. As I have mentioned, the gravy of this dish is really delicious. When tofu puffs are added to it, they soaked up the gravy. You can imagine the gravy flooding your mouth as you sink your teeth into them! This dish is best served with white rice and some freshly cut chillies in soy sauce or sambal belacan.
