Great Photographers are.....

.....those who see beyond what others do not. In my opinion...good camera helps but the "X-factor" will still be the person behind the lense. These past few days I browsed, looked at and admire some great shots from fellow "flickr" members........

Im still dazed after looking at some of those gorgeous, beautiful nice photos...and it dawn on me that there's so many talented people out there....and I have a lot to learn.....my journey has just begun.... *smile*

But anyway I wouldnt let anything goes by me...or a day without snapping anything at all. I took a snap of this deliciously baked fish just now and I guess I'll have to share the recipe of what I had.........and here goes :


Thai Style - Baked Fish with Sweet and Sour Sauce
3 pieces fish meat, 200g each
3 pieces kaffir lime leaves, shredded
3 banana leaves, 20x30 cm each

Grind the following ingredients into a paste :
200g tomatoes
50g red chillies
2 stalks lemongrass
1 stalk torch ginger seeds
30g garlic

Mix the above paste with the following :
50g sugar
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp fish sauce

And pour the mixtures onto fish meat. Mix well. Put 1 piece of fish meat on a greased banana leaf. Fold and wrap up both sides. Seal with a toothpick. Arrange on a baking tray. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes and serve.

It's a consolation to have the Thai baked fish after a tiring day.... well, it made me happy *wink*

Dear Su Hashim,

Would be very much obliged if you could kindly let me know what sort of fish should we use for this receipe of yours. Even though my wife is from Thailand, we have yet to try this recipe. Hope to try it asap!!

Thanks

Hi Francis,

I use mackerel for this recipe. You can use other fish if you like, I am sure it will be just as nice - I think.

Happy trying & thank you for the eye-feasting blog - interesting blog.

Best Regards,
Su
