This steamed fish dish was inspired by Wendy [Table for 2 .. or more] which was really good. My hubby's very first reaction to this dish was, 'Wow!, this is good!', 'Much better than other ways of steaming fish'. Moreover, the fish is very fresh from his fishing trip. I used calamansi limes [limau kasturi] juice that blends very well with the other ingredients. Very appetising... Will definitely prepare this again... Didn't bother to take more pictures cos' we wanted to savour the steamed fish steaming hot, hahaha!.

Wah, Kimmy! Very appetising steamed fish. So, you get a steady supply of fish, huh? I used to order this dish at the Thai restaurant. But sometimes their fish not fresh :(
The sauce looks good and coupled with a freshly caught fish, the dish is superb...must try!
Hi Phong Hong, yes, my hubby semi retired, so has time to go fishing. Hard to describe how good this dish is but my hubby's reaction explains it all.
Hi Cheah, yes you must, it' very appetising, you would finish off the sauce. BTW, I have followed a few of your steamed fish recipes, they are good too. Next time, can I post them in my blog and link to yours?
