This is essentially a fusion dish.  Cross cultures between the Malaysian Chinese and the Malays.  This popular dish served all Chinese restaurants and some Malay restaurants ever since no less than half a century ago.  After decades of evolution, today, it is almost impossible to find back the original flavour.

Dried shrimps                50  g
Red / Green chilies         4  pcs
Belacan                        30  g
Galic                             1 bulb


Method:
1.  Peel the kangkong, take only the younger parts.
2.  Wash and let dry.
3.  Soak the dry shrimps in hot water.
3.  Peel the garlic and chopped fine
4.  Heat up a frying pan with 3 table spoons of cooking oil.
