Tagliatelle Sambal Tahai with Eggplant...
Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera to all...
Tahai is one of my favorite ingredients at home, as mom always brought it home and yes... cooking it too, her most favorite tahai dishes is 'Tahai Masak Api' - its boiled method of cooking with chillies and tamarind. Oh, ya... I almost forgot, Tahai is a kind of dried small fish, in the process the fish was grilled and dried and kept in sack. Sambal tahai is very-very local for Bruneian and you can find it in your Nasi Katuk Stall nearby...
