My all time feveret...

Assalamualaikum and salam sejahtera to all...

This is not a recipe sharing post, not a photo sharing post either, its more like 'just post it' post... well, I've been meaning to post this dish quite sometime ago but, I got carried away with my surrounding and just in case you're asking where I've been or where I am now... I am in the middle of some where and probably you'll get to know where it is... so...

My all time favorite dish is 'Ikan Asam Pedas'.  When I was young, dad always bring home fishes cause he was a fish monger and all my life I've been feed proteins from the creatures in the water.  I'd say until now I still love fishes and every once a while I'd go to wet market just to get whats fresh in the market.  Yeah, I do fishing to, on my free time, just around the riverbed or goin out with friends on boat. Its always been fun to have your own fresh catch and get to cook what you got from the water.

Asam pedas has tamarind and chillies as main ingredients and its taste real good with fishes like snapper (berahan/ikan merah), seabass (selongsong), mackerel (tengiri) and sting ray (ikan pari). It was said to be originated from Peninsular Malaysia's Melaka but I'd say it doesn't matter where it was originated cause where ever it was, I always have love for this particular dish.

In one morning, I've gone cooking for my lunch... here we go...

I used Ikan Berah-berahan (red snapper) for this recipe cause I love

the taste of this fish in asam pedas, thats how I used to eat it tho... ;)

As I love chillies a lot... this ones very HOT!!!

So, there goes Asam Pedas will continue to rules in my line of appetite, until the next asam pedas with a different version... hope you enjoy, have a great time.
