BIasa kalau jumpa telur ikan saya akan masak kari, assam pedas atau kerabu. Kali ini saya masak assam pedas. Ini memang rezeki saya...susah hendak dapat telur ikan sekarang ini....kalau hendak kena buat booking atau kena ke pasar awal. Sedap masak asam peda...ndak-ndak makan dengan nasi panas ulam dan ikan masin.
