Asam Pedas Ikan
Lunch has passed by but my stomach is still carving for the homemade Asam Pedas Ikan or Spicy Sour Fish in English. This traditional food of Malaysia is definitely one of the best and of course nothing can beat the homemade food. Add a few spices and cooked the fish with tamarind broth and an extra veggies is definitely one of the best way to test the awesomeness flavor. Even though its summer now, but it's okay with me as long as I can taste the sensational flavor that comes from the Asam Pedas Ikan. So peoples out there, get your engine start, and drive to search this Asam Pedas Ikan. It best eaten with the rice beside this awesome food. Eating the Asam Pedas Ikan with rice is so Malaysian style and it's ok with me as I'm a Malaysian. And I love traditional :)
