Adding lemongrass to the dish sure increase the aroma! Love it!
Hi Jozelyn, this dish is without garlic, lemongrass adds more aroma to it.
This dish looks very appetizing!
Hi Joyce, should be good cos' we just ate it minus the fishy smell. The nori seaweed does contribute a little of the 'sea' smell, hehehe!
I love the addition of lemon grass to your dish. It looks delicious!
Hi Mich, the non-vegetarian version adds garlic. This own must have lemongrass for more aroma.
hi kimmy, i know this is a very appetising dish. I've cooked acar fish last time, also uses turmeric, vinegar and some pounded ingredients. you made your own mock fish? wow, let me chk out that post.
Hi Lena, yes I made the mock fish fillet cos' I wasn't sure what goes in to the store bought mock fish fillet. Quite simple, though.
Kimmy, I can imagine how delicious this is, even with mock fish!
Hi Phong Hong, my niece loves the mock fish very much cos' of the seaweed.
