Foodnote

This recipe is courtesy from my friend Suria. I prefer the fish a little chunky so next time I am going to just chop the fish instead of using the blender. I will probably add a bit of oil to stir fry the spices. I actually steam the otak2 slightly before grilling. Overall... very nice and just a bit spicy. Awesome food for bbq or just as dish to eat with rice.
