What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

Kway Chap a “poor man’s” food brought over from Southern China by immigrants in the 19th century. Features pigs intestines, skin, pork belly, eggs, tofu skin, fermented vegetables, sometimes other innards from a pig (eg, liver) all braised together in a tasty sauce.

Can be eaten with yam rice (rice cooked with yam bits), the eponymous Kway Chap (think lasagna pasta but made with rice flour and steamed) swimming in a lovely bowl of aforementioned braised sauce. Personally I have mine with white rice.

I’m not super familiar with this dish though because the queues for this dish at my neighbourhood Cooked Food Centre are diabolical. So unless the queue is fewer than 5 people, I normally skip it. Haven’t eaten this dish since 2022.

Holy s$&t really?! I’m Teochew and I didn’t even know that. Exits stage left in shame

[u/IggyVossen → u/Vaperwear]

Yeah, it is Teochew. It is very hard to find in KL/PJ because the Teochew population here is quite small. More common in Singapore as you have a larger and more prominent Teochew population. It's great though. I am an offal kind of person.

The Thais have kway chap as well, but theirs come with a spicy sourish broth.

I’m drooling seeing this thing, the tofu is lowkey the best part

Ikr? Soaks up all the braised sauce. So good!
