not botox


as i am excited & had looked forward to meet my roomates and friends this weekend, i think of something that is suitable to be given to my roomate for my visit. as we both love to eat, food is the first thing that popped out from my mind. i had this dish called botok-botok (not botox) yesterday & perhaps i could manage to bring some to kl. botok-botok is a johorean dish made up of seer fish (tenggiri) marinated in curry paste & steamed together with many types of leaves. the aromatic scent of the dish might somehow being mistaken with otak-otak for people who never eaten it before. oh btw it's our favourite to have it as our meal. you can never find it; or shall i say it's hard to be found at other place than johor itself. *sounds soo like documentary.haha*

botok-botok is best served with hot plain rice. i bet you will savour the taste! as the dish is made up of many herbs & leaves like ginger, tapioca leaves, pucuk janggus, daun kaduk & so on, it is considered as a healthy food. plus the method of cooking is steam instead of fry or something else. so, why don't you give a try? 
:))


too bad that botok-botok is only available at night market at my neighborhood area. guess that i have to think of other thing to bring. shikin maslan & faziela abdullah; can't wait to see you guys tomorrow!



once a food lover, always a food lover. ;p
