Buah Keluak or black nuts is fruit from Kepayang tree which gives a nutty flavour and enhances dark colour to the beef stew. My first try out on this dish and it will be one of my favourites, the taste was amazingly delicious with spicy sambal belacan.
A taste of Nasi Rawon, black beef stew served along with rice and several side dishes which includes serunding, begedil, sambal sotong, fried tempeh, fried tofu, beef lung, sambal belacan and more.

A long forgotten snack locally known as 'Kuih Raya' often enjoyed during Eid celebration. I have created an easy step by step method to bake these sweet and savoury traditional cookies filled with dates. Although some recipes use butter or ghee, I prefer making it with Planta margarine as it adds a unique taste.
