I used to discard this whenever I eat nasi kerabu. Cos I never like "yong chili", the cousins of yong taufu. But then my kelantanese friend told me, the chili is only a vessel for the fish stuffing, the main actor is the fish, not the chili, and that I can discard the chili after i eat the fish, only did I try my first bite. It was so good!!!!! I never expected coconut to be in it.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this recipe.
Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThe fish stuffing is not similar to yong taufu and this one has more flavour becoz of coconut & spices addition. Also the texture is not springy. Your friend is right, the chili will not contaminate the stuffing taste. For me I eat everything - the chili & stuffing!LOL.
