Asam Pedas

Asam Pedas is a type of Malay cuisine that is famous in Malacca and Johor. Usually, the must-have ingredients consist of fish (usually swordfish, mackerel, red fish and porcupine fish), dried chilies, shallots, garlic, belacan, ginger, galangal, live turmeric (if you want to add more flavor to the food) , lemongrass, kesum leaves, kantan flowers, tamarind, gelugur tamarind or kaffir lime leaves. Spicy tamarind variations also differ depending on the place. Fish pickles are more popular in settlements near the sea where seafood is readily available in abundance, cheap and fresh. However, asam pedas meat and chicken are also popular in some places and usually rely on readily available raw materials.

Ikan Bakar

Grilled fish is a type of fish dish that is grilled using charcoal. It is categorized in the cuisine of Indonesia, Malaysia and various other Southeast Asian countries. Usually, the fish is marinated or rubbed (with spices and sometimes sambal) and then grilled; and sometimes, banana leaves become a lining on the grill. In addition, grilled fish does not contain additional calories and fat because it is cooked without oil.
