Inchi Cabin Chicken is known as Encik Cabin Chicken. The reason why it is called Encik Cabin is because this dish was popularly cooked on the ship for sailors. Usually when the meal is ready, the chef will inform the sailors “Encik dalam cabin, Chicken siap” (Mister in the cabin, you meal is ready.) That is how this meal got its name. Well, at least that's one version of it. It is however, a classic Malacca Peranakan dish. The preparation of this meal is easy to do and it has really crunchy skin and juicy meat texture to it.
