Inche cabin/ Spiced FRIED chicken...
I have gone against my 'No Fried Food' mantra .... :(
Why... oh WHY!!!
...food that do more harm than good to our health, always tasted so GOOD!!! sigh
I was scrolling through my posts and noticed that I posted Korean Twice Fried Chicken, exactly a year ago :).
It must have been the August Southern wind.... well, its still winter in the Southern hemisphere, so I guess the body is telling me that I need to have Blubber or else... ;P

August 2015...
I bring you another DEEP FRIED chicken, this time its Nonya deep fried chicken called Inche Cabin.
Why Inche Cabin? Could it be named after a person? Mr Cabin? (Inche or Encik is Mister in English)
I have no idea... perhaps Mr Google could shed some light.
But I do know that ... Inche Cabin is full of flavour that comes from lots of spices, marinate overnight to further develop its flavour.... and then deep fried twice.
Try it... you’ll fall in love with Inche Cabin ;P
Love at first bite ... :D

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteanother Malaysian favourite, though not many know the secret to this chicken is the twice-fried method.
