Thursday Thirteen #20
Frankly speaking, sekarang ni, aku macam dah malas nak makan daging (except for occasional Cheeseburger Deluxe atau ayam goreng berempah). And it’s also enlightening to know that a diet rich in fish is beneficial to your health.
Children whose mothers eat fish regularly during pregnancy develop better language and communication skills !
Apa pun, aku sedih sangat dengan bad rep yang menimpa sardin dalam tin. Memula tu, ada la hamba Allah ni dok circulate email tentang kuah sardin yang dicampur dengan (gasp!) siput babi. Pastuh, bebaru ni, ada pulak yang claim kalau makan sardine banyak sangat, boleh jadi ovarian cyst (for women la). I dunno what to believe la, sebab kalau tang halal tu, memang le dah ada tertera logo halal JAKIM kat tin sardin tu, tapi kalau bab menyebabkan cyst? I dunno. Maybe kalau ada sesiapa yang buat research tentang ni dan terbukti sah? We’ll just wait and see…
Anyway, here’s another TT because this is my blog and I haven’t blogged in like, two weeks and I’m starting to get the chill and rashes and whatever… (and frankly speaking, selera makan aku macam takde sejak pregger ni and I just eat for the sake of filling my tummy and avoiding gastric) :(
13 of My Favourite Fish dishes (tak termasuk satar, otak-otak, sate ikan dan keropok)
1. Ikan pari masak asam pedas Johor (dengan sawi asin dan daun kesum). Good enough to eat with bread!
2. Ikan bawal hitam masak masam manis. The best one I’ve tasted is at a food stall near Masjid Geliga, Terengganu.
3. Ikan pari bakar cicah air asam + kicap pedas + sambal belacan.
4. Fish and chips. As long as the fish is REAL fish and not that nuggety fish paste.
5. Ikan siakap tiga rasa. Well, aku pernah makan a few times only, tapi memang sedap.
6. Cencaru bakar (goreng dengan minyak yg sedikit), cicah dengan kicap + lada + bawang stail mak aku.
7. Ikan bawal kecik2 atau belanak goreng.
8. Botok2 (ikan tenggiri dicampur dengan pelbagai daun dan rempah dan dikukus dalam daun pisang). My late grandmother made awesome botok2! And I missed it so much….
9. Ikan sardin goreng (sardin ori, bukan sardin tin) masak sweet and sour stail my MIL.
10. Gulai nasi dagang ikan tongkol.
11. Ikan bawal hitam masak kerutup (stail mak aku).
12. Ikan keli goreng bercili/ goreng tepung. Tapi mesti garing2 le.
13. Pais ikan selar kuning. (Ikan di campur dengan bawang + cili kisar, bungkus dengan daun pisang dan goreng dengan minyak yg sedikit))
