History

Although Ayam Taliwang is said to be a dish favoured by the Sasak nobility,[1] Abdul Hamid claims to have invented the dish in 1970.[2] It is named after Karang Taliwang in Mataram, the capital of Lombok.[1][2]

Preparation

Ayam Taliwang is made with chicken cut and cleaned before grilling. Once it has been grilled halfway, it is removed from the grill and tenderized with a pestle. It is then dipped in cooking oil; after several seconds in the oil, it is put in a spicy sauce of garlic, chilli, and shrimp paste. It is then fried or grilled to order.[2]

Presentation

Ayam Taliwang physically appears similar to regular grilled or fried chicken, with a covering of sambal. Its taste is sweet and spicy, with traces of shrimp paste. It can be served with a side of water spinach (pelecing[3]) and eggplant (beberuk) covered with chili sauce.[2]

Variations

The Taliwang flavour has been adapted for instant noodles.[2]
