This dish was a favourite of mine growing up. My mother would make it on special occasions and it was always a hit. It was a dish that was served to guests and it was always a great conversation starter. The combination of the spicy sauce with the crunchy vegetables and the boiled egg was always a delight. It was a dish that was always a crowd pleaser and it was always a great way to bring people together.
