Dear OP John Louis O'Hara,
I prefer the Ayam Pong Teh over the highly rated Ayam Buah Keluak. Here is the recipe for you to mess around with. I add 2 cili kering. Soak them in hot water and tumbuk finely. Buy Thai charcoal roasted cili kering at RM 5.00 per pkt of 500 gm from Jaya Grocer (Empire Hypermarket) which belongs to OP Francis Teng. The cili is aromatic and lebeh sedap.
You can, if you wish use ayam mutiara or guinea fowl instead of normal chicken. The address to purchase the guinea fowl is given: //edwardianrecipes.blogspot.com........ you may have to pressure cook the fowl for 15 minutes.
Sorak & good luck.
Btw, OP Fong Seng Fook and I cooked this dish in my house In Terengganu a few years ago. His wife a Taiping Nyonya, and a great cook was watching us with a smirk and apprehension. She was waiting to save the situation. All of us were surprised we got a C+, and not gaited by the OCPDs!!!

Today, I want to share Chicken Pong Teh(Ayam Pong Teh) recipe.This is one of our favourite nyonya dish.My mom used to add pork meat into this dish.But, we like it this way, without the pork meat.The kids loves the gravy mix with white rice.Here's the recipe:
