Have I told you that my Grandma is a mix of Indonesian and Portuguese? So, imagine her food is like a mixture of Indonesian and Portuguese cultures fusing together. That sounds awesome, right?

I also poached an egg in the sambal stew; I mean 1 TBSP of egg white is used to marinate the shrimps, why not cook the whole egg too?
