Blend all the sambal ingredients.
We added a small tub of homemade chilly paste
that Cathy made for our assam laksa on Saturday,
as well as some chopped bunga kantan at the last minute.
Add seasalt, brown sugar and limau kasturi juice for taste.
Heat cooking oil in frying pan,
and fry the sambal ingredients.
Add a generous sprinkle of finely chopped limau kasturi leaves.
And of course, a large one for photography purposes.

Slice the Fish.
Stuff the Fish with the sambal.
Pop into the oven and grill
at 180 degrees celcius for about 30 minutes.
Grilling in the oven is so much healthier
and doesn't make a mess like frying does.

Bryan's Plate ... See his artistic side emerging ...
I suppose You could play noughts and crosses
with the vegetables for personal entertainment. :D
Dinner was really delicious!
The fish, let me assure You, was truly out - of - this - world!
Grilled to perfection honestly, and the sambal ...
Don't even get me started on the sambal.
Truly, finger lickin' fantabulous sambal fish with
the fluffy and extremely fragrant spice-rice
and crunchy vegetables. :D
