I don't know, but with a Sambal Oolek sauce, it sounds tasty!

It's just a guess but the seahorse used in chinese medicine has a tail like
a monkey's tail. Maybe it is a medicinal ingredient (yin/yang)?

Given the appearance of the site, I agree with Lawrence. Since the
ingredient is marked "optional," I'd leave it out.

Wise advice. But then, of course, it will not be authentic.

It was going to be tails or butts. I chose tails, though, if monkey butts
are as delicious as chicken butts, maybe I made the wrong choice ...

Yeah? I saw monkey tails in the store today and decided to pick them
up and use them for that recipe. I don't know what you were thinking,
but they didn't go very well with that dish. I strongly reccomend
leaving them out. Maybe I go the wrong breed of monkey?
