Pindang Gurame

Another dish with fish. My dad loves fish too much, he likes to takes us to restaurants that have delicious fish menus or seafood restaurants. This time it's Gurame Pindang, Indonesian traditional food also with fried fresh water carp. The broth is made from different kind of spices, mostly garlic. Other that that, they use ginger, chilli, and lemon grass. The broth will came out light orange, taste a little sweet and sour. A while after we order, the dish came served in a small pot which makes it look interesting. The fish are also easy to eat because they already cut it into pieces. Most of all its delicious, but my mom think its too sour and she can't ate it too much.

Gurame Pesmol and Nasi Liwet

Sweet, sour, and spicy yellow sauce with a rich taste of Indonesian Spices, best combination for fried fresh water Carp. It is called Gurame Pesmol, delicious Sundanese traditional food which the fish and sauce cooked together with a little addition of chillies and tomatoes.

Other than that, I recommend you to eat the fish with rice, but not just a regular rice. It is called Nasi Liwet. The rice is cooked in coconut milk and chicken broth, giving the rice rich and a little salty taste. Sometimes it served with small salted Anchovy and we can mix it together with the rice.

You can find this food in most of Indonesian traditional food restaurant. One of the restaurant that I think are worth it to try is Ikan Bakar Cianjur. You can see it here.
