As what Lisa H. of From My Lemony Kitchen described in this "Nyonya Ayam Sioh", nothing really that appealing and plain looking dish but as I read on the content of this dish, she urged us to try this and said we will fall in love with this dish!
So I give it a try today! The verdict? It is so fragrant and taste delicious ~ the main ingredient is the coriander and I usually loves sour sauce.

Oh, after I have posted / published this dish out, Wendy of Table for 2...or more informed and suggested me to submit it to Malaysian Food Fest hosted by yummylittlecooks. And why not? Ayam Sioh is a nyonya dish and it should be from Melaka!

You are right, I am guilty of judging a dish by how it looks in the photo. I saw this Ayam Sioh picture in my recipe book and it was just brown. Hah! Hah! So I ignore it. That's really silly but I think your presentation is very good. It does look delicious and I am convinced to cook it!
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong,
DeleteThere's alot of version for this Ayam Sioh. Try your recipe and see how it taste and give some comment for it; and I can try yours too!
Yes most nyonya dishes don't look any different but taste the world different!
Delete晚餐时间，我自备了碗白饭来趁热吃！嘻嘻~
ReplyDeleteThat said, don't judge a book by its cover. It's quite hard to present a dish with all ingredients in brown. But you did the good job.
ReplyDeleteSince you highly recommended this dish, I must try one day.
ReplyDeleteMel,
ReplyDeleteSince this is a nyonya dish, is it from Melaka?
Why not submit this to our event?
Hi Mel, your ayam sioh look excellent. I can have extra rice with the gravy itself.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
P/S I'd posted my passion fruit ice cream & cake.
This is new to me but I love the rich color of the sauce!
ReplyDeleteHi Mel, thank you for joining MFF ( Melaka Month) :)
ReplyDeleteLook at that gravy, oh my...yum...
Gosh!

I was misled by the name :Coriander , usually that refers to the leaves. So you mean coriander seeds as an ingredient yes?
ReplyDeleteYes it is coriander seeds
