Sambal stingray

Sambal is a versatile chili paste blended with spices, shallots, candlenuts and often belachan (fermented shrimp paste). The Sambal-coated cuts of stingray are wrapped in cleaned banana leaves and grilled to smoky perfection. I like it because its spicy .

Katong laksa

influenced dish consisting of thick rice vermicelli in a rich, spicy coconut gravy . The Katong version has noodles cut into smaller lengths, so it can be easily scooped up with a spoon . The soup is opaque , thick and slightly gritty from the abundance of ground dried shrimp, which gives it the umami kick. Chopsticks or forks are not given . i like Katong laksa because u don have to use fork or spoon to scoop up the noodle .
