Home Made ‘Sambal Ikan Bilis’

One of mom’s expertise, sambal ikan bilis (anchovies in chilli paste). Nope, she’s not making nasi lemak, just the sambal to go with plain rice.

My siblings gobbled most of the sambal and left such small portion for me (Grrr….~~)

Accompanied with hard boiled egg.. Yummz. I guess these are steps to prepare it:

  • Remove the heads, clean and halved. Deep fried and set aside.
  • Blend belacan, garlic, chillies and shallots. Heat oil and sauté till fragrant.
  • Return fried anchovies to mixture and stir till evenly mix. Add in asam juice (mom say it’s asam koh/kou but I don’t know the English word for it) and stir till the gravy is thickening.
  • Serve hot with rice, cucumber slices, peanuts and hard boiled egg.

Jian: Gotta let me know when you guys planned to come… cos I just got news that my company is switching off day back to Sunday by 22 April. So, if you come after that date, then you gotta come on Sunday. I suggest that you come on Saturday evening and stay overnight :) Em.. got other cheap rate hotels here, don’t worry.

Thanks Jason, for offering to bring us around makan makan in Ipoh! A lot of unforseen shortcomings came up (public hol & final exam paper postponement) so we had to change and change the date :P

I have been waiting to try this nasi lemak at Seri Kembangan market, and after I see your post, my patience is bursting! Haha. Sat need to go grab that nasi lemak liao, thanks to this :P

Adoi Raymond, this is called food blogging. Each post is to show appreciation for any kind of foods

Well raymond, it is sad that u see it this way. Food is for us to enjoy and makes us relax (which apparently you are not). I think anymore explaination is useless. Raymond doesn’t understand. *Geleng kepala*

Oh the nasilemak kukus? Hahaha

Thanx again ya! can t wait to go KL and Ipoh.
