Babi Pongteh but... HALAAL~
sure boh..🤨
as the name says it, babi (means pig in malay), suggests that pork is presumably the star of the dish, so how did Azfar make it halal?
in this episode of BUT HALAL~, Azfar tried to mimic this traditional Peranakan dish by swapping out the babi with oxtail. and if you follow close to his recipe, you should be able to achieve a tender, fall-off-the-bone type of texture from the oxtail. he mentioned that this reminds him of his childhood dish: daging masak taucu, a little sweet-savoury, with hints of spices. for those avid eaters of babi pongteh, we are curious to know what you think of this recipe too! do try it out and let us know~
