Very unique dish. Cant wait to try it.


Nice! Will try this!


We have the same dish in nothern India, it taste awesome.


Yay! I'm gunna make this. But quick questions: what's galangal, and fish granules?


Oh and belacan powder?


Galangal is actually a close relative of the ginger. Though you can only get it in Asian markets.
Fish Granules probably refer to fish flavoured seasoning.
Belancan is shrimp paste. You only get them in Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian markets. With some luck you might find them in Chinatown!
