Fried Fish with Three Flavoured Sauce

Bonjour,

Asian food, just thinking and picturing the savory and aromatic taste of some Asian food makes me drool. How I miss all the food that my mom used to cook at home. From fish, local vegetables and even a simple fried rice, everything just make my mouth water.

Ikan masak tiga rasa or fried fish cooked with three flavoured sauce has a three flavour, sweet, sour and spicy. Only one dish meal enough for dinner with fish and vegetables comes together, simple yet very satisfying.
