TODAY'S LUNCH - ASAM REBUS IKAN TENGGIRI, MUSHROOM OMELETTE & STIR FRIED BEAN SPROUTS WITH CHIVES

Asam Rebus Tenggiri

Mushroom Omelette

Stir Fried Bean Sprouts With Chive

The children were out for their week end outing, I still have to cook lunch cum dinner. I made it early so that I can continue my reading. So lunch for Saturday were Asam Rebus Ikan Tenggiri, Mushroom Omelette and Stir Fried Bean Sprouts. Simple and light

Asam Rebus Ikan Tenggiri - The Southern called it Asam Rebus, the Northern called it Asam Pedas. Basically it is the same, the only reason why the Southern people called it Asam Rebus coz it is another version of Asam Pedas but without sauteing with oil. A bit mild as compared to Asam Pedas, can even sip like soup.  So here how I made my Asam Rebus :-

Lauk ini sedap dimakan dengan nasi panas dan ikan perkasam. Kena pula dengan kerabu taugeh atau pucuk paku, memang tak bangun dari kerusi. Sedap dihirup, rasa masam-masam nenas, manis-manis ikan, memang enak la.
