Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak by Mrs. Rahim

IKAN PATIN MASAK TEMPOYAK



So this is my favourite. Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak. It very famous in my hometown which is Temerloh. Even in any ceremony such as, hari raya Aidilfitri and also wedding, my mother will cook this. The price of ikan patin at Temerloh is very cheap. Its around RM12 per kilogram. So then, I will share the recipe by my mother on how to make Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak. 


Ingredients


1 whole ikan patin, gutted, cleaned and cut into chunks.

Pounded:

6 shallots

3 cloves garlic

½ inch fresh turmeric

12 bird’s eye chillies



1 inch piece ginger, bruised

5 Tbs fermented durian (tempoyak, available at most markets and now even supermarkets)

2 stalks daun kesum (laksa or polygonum leaves)

3 cups water

3 Tbs oil

Salt and sugar to taste




Method       


·         Heat oil in a pot. Fry pounded ingredients until fragrant and the oil rises to the top.



·         Stir in the fish and pour in enough water to cover the fish. Add the julienned galangal at this point.



·         Mix in the tempoyak well and bring to a boil. Once it has boiled, turn down the heat and put in the laksa leaves.



·         Taste and season with salt and sugar accordingly. Simmer until the fish is cooked- about 10 minutes.


 So, you can try this at home!!!

I do not enjoy durian. There, I said it. But tempoyak? How is it that something that is so stinky can ferment into something so delicious? Musky, sweet, sour, it is one of my favourite local condiments.

"The stinky tempoyak tempered down to a gorgeous broth."

Backpack to Korea!


This is my first trip that I fly to the other country with my backpackers team. As usual like other travelers, they gonna snap their passport before depart. So, I want to do so. lulz


excited face! at Incheon International Airport







 So this is the commonly known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower,  it is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central of Seoul, South Korea. At 236m, it marks the highest point in Seoul. The whether at this place is very cold and raining. On that time is which is the transitional season from autumm to spring. But there is no snow at that time. so sad....
In front of the tower which is love lock. I can see there were lots of couples having a date at that time and put the lock that written their names on the gate around the tower and pray for the lasting love and a happy ending. 


Then the second interesting places goes to.....................




NAMI ISLAND


This is also one of the most beautiful in Seoul Korea. If you are addict to watch the korean movie..you must recognize this place. This is the place for shooting the drama of WINTER SONATA. That's why people choose to go at this place. So this is a few of my Korea backpack team which is kak Zu, Mizah, Lon, Kak Mira, Kemey, Arif Kadir, Ekin, Fatin, En. Nik, Kak Muni and Amin. We struggle so much to have this picture. Our pose is just over I think. lols



Then the third interesting place.... is Gyeongbokgung Palace









 On a clear blue day. The palace is really beautiful. Walked all the way in to the quiet lake and the scenery is good. We enjoy so much the quiet grounds and there are lots of small palaces within the palace ground. The main reason I wanted to visit this palace is because they filmed Rooftop Prince and other periodic Korean dramas here. This place is beautiful. The architectures are amazing and the beans to hold the roof have very intricate drawings on them. Some of the doors were locked but I was still happy to visit this place. Kings and queens walked the paths I walked. History and laws were created and made here. Its amazing to see that, most part of the walkways around the palace were just dirt. Amazed me that the kings and queens were frugal. Paintworks were beautifully preserved and same goes to the building. Love the scenery because since its spring, the palace flowers blooms and highlighted the beauty of the place even more.




BIBIMBAB TIME !!!!!





which is the most craving food since i was school. Maybe too much watching Korean drama. Bibimbab is interesting food. They have rice, egg, mushrooms and some vegetables and it will more delicious when we eat with the grilled seaweed. So delicious !!!!



Night walk around the Seoul city.....








I MISS KOREAN BACKPACKERS TEAM AND SEOUL !!!









So this is the story of my Korean trip...hope the the one who read this will be encouraged to travel where you like and can dream as much as you can..
