Kembung Asam Tak Pedas

was wandering in the super market's fish section for very long
because i saw a lot of very fresh fishes!

Snakie once mentioned he like Kembung fish
i was very undecided because no one there
to help clean the fish ~>,<~
okay lar... for Dec sake~

for he had a bad week sake~
brought the fishes home
.
1st time cleaning up fish in my whole life again
shivering hands... was holding my breath all the time...
closed my eyes while taking out all the bloody organs
kept mumbling sorry n RIP to the fishies... >,<"

poor fishies...

i've been asking around on how to cook them too
seems like everyone dun usually cook fish at home
haaaaa...!
special thanks for Kittymiao for the inspiration
.
went online to check on recipe too
but sadly~ my kitchen lacking of a lot of ingredients
so i simply hantam my way again

i used:
shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, lime leaves, chili,
tamarind (assam) paste, brown sugar, soy sauce

fry all the dried ingredients till fragrant

pour in the tamarind juice n a bit of water
then slowly put in the fishes
cook for 5 minutes on each side
season with brown sugar n soy sauce

not enough time n not in the mood of decorating it
look ordinary but taste superb
snakie finished his big big plate of rice ^^

i wish i could have fresh fish sauce n some lime
it would be perfect ^^
.
for those whom wish to hav extra uuumph
u may add some chili padi in too~
