Nyonya Style Ayam (Chicken) Pongteh

My heritage is of Indonesian Chinese so a lot of Indonesian dishes are very similar to the Malaysian's Nyonya dishes.  One of my old time favourite dishes that my mum used to cook at home is this dish.  According to my hubby who is a Malaysian Chinese, its very similar to Nyonya style Ayam Pongteh.. so its not exactly the same version but its a mixture of chinese indonesian/malaysian version.. haha.. whatever you want to call it .. but give it a try.. its nice!! *grin**..
