Seafood dish


Hi, imagine life without the seafood bounties from the sea. No prawn, squids, fish, lobster and the likes. It would be unthinkable. We should protect our seas and oceans. I love to eat seafood as much as I love to cook them. Having spent 9 years in Labuan, once can't help but be fascinated by the abundance of seafood there. But I only developed the liking to cook them when I moved back to KL in 2006. I am into cooking seafood now and collecting recipes. What I am looking for is a receipe which is mind blowing. It must have the "wow" factor, not only on the taste but on the look too. As a famous chef from the Taj Hotel in India puts it, "people eat with their eyes first.
The picture is my version of Ikan Masak Tiga Rasa. I however think it is more akin to Ikan Masak Tauchu (fermented black beans). It is a fast dish yet elegance and has the "wow" factor on appearance and test. It has proven to be a hit everytime I cooked it.
