So, I’ve discovered a new vice – New Moon Muah Otah (Otah is spicy fish paste, typically wrapped in banana leaf and barbequed over a charcoal fire).
It comes frozen in supermarkets and in 2 flavours – Mackerel Fillet and Mackeral Fillet and Prawn.
Great thing about this is that it comes in one ginormous slab, and you wrap it in cling film and pop it into the microwave on medium for 2 -3 mins… and you get piping hot, soft, tender and melt in your mouth otah.
I’m not usually a fan of otah as I don’t take spicy food (I am a disgrace to Singaporeans). But since I’ve been pregnant, I have been craving for all things spicy and coconut-y – curries, spicy coconut rice (nasi lemak), laksa, otah…
I can’t really do this otak any justice with my words… so just go get it people!
