I tried their recipe Fish simmered in Fragrant Soy, today. I remember that when i was still living in Jakarta, my mom made very rarely this dish because my father does not like fish (because of the strange smell, he says), while at that time, i don't like any soup based on fish meat (i don't know if sisters and brother really like it, but anyway, we did not live in the same roof for so long, so i don't know well their favorite food).
Anyway, today i wanted to make a simple soupy dinner, since it is very cold outside (bad weather experience in Paris), and i also remembered that i still have mahi-mahi (dorade coryphène in French),fish fillet in the freezer. I don't know what mahi-mahi means but it seems that this fish lives in pacific ocean, and the taste is very distinguish while the meat is quite firm.
This recipe is just perfect to make the used of the mahi-mahi fish, and unlike usual, i have curcuma roots (normally i use powder - works just fine for me, i don't complain). I replaced the carambola fruit with green acid plum.
Now, about ayam betutu (roast chicken in banana leaf), it is a balinese (and lombok) dish that is very famous. I found the recipe posted here, which i tried several time, and i am never bored with the result. Of course, i replaced the duck with chicken. I cooked this when father in law came to visit us because he had a business trip in our neighbourhood about 3 months ago, and he said it was delicious. Now that is a compliment, considering he is a very difficult man when it comes to food.
