I was intrigued when I saw this item on the menu of Malioboro Soft Bone Chicken @ Juront Point - "soft bone chicken with salted egg sauce". Not only am I a fan of salted egg sauce, but I really wanted to see if the chicken bones were really completely edible... well, for a quick answer, see the second image. The Malioboro chain originated in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. They pressure cook the chicken to get its bones soft, and apparently, there's a "correct" way to do it to get the desired soft bone results. I presume they then proceed to deep fry or cook the chicken further if the dish requires it. Apparently, every 100g of chicken bone contains about 9.1 grams of calcium and 5.6mg of iron... the daily recommended calcium requirement for adults is only about 1 gram. So you probably don't want to eat this too often either. Anyway, the bones were really soft... the image above shows my plastic fork piercing the drumstick bone, which is usually very tough.
