Nyonya style chicken stew with potatoes aka Ayam Pongteh is a Melaka dish cooked in fermented soy bean sauce. This is a homey dish originally added gula melaka for the sweetness and aroma.
The recipe that I am sharing here is customised for my son who only likes gula melaka in dessert but not in savoury dish. So this recipe is without the use of gula melaka. However, you can substitute the sugar amount with gula melaka to yield the more flavourful and authentic ayam pongteh dish.

| This is one of our favourite dish. My son can finished eating everything on this tray in no time! |
This dish is best to pair with a bowl of warm rice. The gravy is truly palatable!
这是一道经典的娘惹菜。做法简单，味道浓郁，咸中带甜，是一道大人小朋友都喜爱，好下饭的菜肴。我的小孩不爱有椰糖的菜肴，所有我改用了细砂糖。如果你喜欢传统的味道，可以选用马六甲椰糖。味道会更香，更浓郁。
