There&#8217;s something about the fusion of spices and coconut milk that wakes up our taste buds and stimulates appetite.<\/p>\n<p>I like eating fish curry. I always look forward to its ingredients of lady fingers, egg plant, beancurd skin and fresh white fish meat all soaked in a spicy gravy tinged with tamarind. It&#8217;s so mouth-watering! :D<\/p>\n<p>Just a couple of weeks ago, I came across a packet of ready-made fish curry paste at a supermarket and decide to give it a shot. I bought the suggested ingredients (with a bit of improvisation) and followed the simple cooking instructions on the packet. The dish turned out to be surprisingly delicious (taste-wise similar to MIL&#8217;s) and satisfying! Another keeper :)<\/p>\n<p>BTW, I used red snapper fillet, egg plant, tomato, Japanese fish cakes (not that palatable, my first and last time using them) and stuffed bean curd sheets (these tasted great!). Couldn&#8217;t find lady fingers at the supermarket &#8211; duh. Just a note about preparing the egg plant: I soaked the cut egg plant pieces in salt water to prevent browning before cooking them.<\/p>\n<p>Oh ya, if you&#8217;re wondering which brand of fish curry paste I bought, it is &#8216;Woh Hup&#8217;. Its packet has the label &#8216;Easy Cook Sauce&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-cooking-OLYP0744-fish-curry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/blog-2011-cooking-OLYP0744-fish-curry.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-cooking-OLYP0744-fish-curry\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have yet met someone who doesn&#8217;t like curries.
