Bua Kuluak Fried Rice

If it’s edible, someone has probably blogged about it, and the obscure butter Indonesian nut, Bua Keluak is no exception. More famous for its role in the prominent Peranakan dish Ayam Bua Keluak (Chicken with Bua Keluak), the paste from this enourmous and impossible-to-crack kernel, makes a rich and aromatic friend rice.

Although Geylang is Singapore’s official red light district, all the way out in the Joo Chiat area one can also find after-dinner entertainment.

Special thanks to my cousin Nikki for the the hair-raising car ride and the eye-opening eating experience.
