Singapore restaurant offers crispy chicken rendang for limited period
A restaurant in Singapore has come up with crispy chicken rendang amid the culinary storm whipped up last week by judges on cooking show MasterChef UK who dared to suggest the existence of such a dish.
And before you brush off the creation by Rumah Rasa at Bay Hotel Singapore as merely fried chicken doused in rendang sauce, the recipe is more complex than that.
Rumah Rasa’s dish calls for chicken thigh to first be infused with herbs and spices by marinating it in the restaurant’s own rendang paste and left overnight. It is then steam-baked before being deep-fried, and cooked in rendang sauce again before serving.
The crispy delight, priced at $10.90 per portion, will be served with nasi lemak telang (blue rice nasi lemak), ikan bilis, belinjau crackers and sambal sauce.
Rumah Rasa, which serves modern Indonesian cuisine, will offer the crispy chicken rendang from 10 April until 30 April. Reservations must be made at the restaurant.
For those who still prefer their rendang in the traditional style, they can order the traditional beef rendang at the restaurant.
