Sembilang oh Sembilang

These few days, I craved for asam pedas ikan sembilang laut (catfish alike). Tekak ni memang kalau preggie tak pernah teringin benda lain, asam pedas ikan sembilang is a MUST. All these while dok kat Malaysia memang takde masalah for my dad yang memang suka makan ikan sembilang would always beli the fresh ones and we would cook and belasah gila-gila. Maybe masa my mom ngandungkan I dulu, ayah memang craved for this ikan sebab mak ada 'kureng' sikit dgn ikan ni sebab dia geli kalau nak clean the 'snake' alike fish, so ayah would always cleaned and mak would cook the best Johorian asam pedas. As for me jangan orang letak belut sudah!!! yang tu betul macam u**r. eeeiiiii.

Yesterday, I dok blog walking to other bloggers, suka masuk bloggers yang kaki masak and in this one entry by abang mat gebu , ada asam pedas ikan sembilang. Perghhh.... the red vibrant asam pedas siap ada bunga kantan is been proudly featured in his entry. Oh MY!!! there and then, ayaq lioq dok tersekat kat tekak ni and rasa macam kecur giler. Kalau orang jawa sebut 'NGENCHES"...

Wish, wish, wish mak dapat antar ikan sembilang kat sini. So I posted in the fb "teringin ..." and a fren in Abu Dhabi Kak Hana kata dia ada jumpa ikan sembilang kat market Abu Dhabi. Biar betullll! tapi abang Aji (hubby Kak Hana) is an angler takkan tak kenai ikan kot. Kot babah lainlah... babah kalau bab-bab nak kenal ikan ni memang fail. Kalau betul ada! confirm will heret babah to Abu Dhabi nak carik.

Many frenz commented in fb, 'buat sendirik lah", improvise ke dgn ikan dory, ikan pari or ikan apa2lah but tekak preggie ni nak ikan sembilang gakkkkkk. Nak masak asam pedas is not a problem but hope betullah ada sembilang kat Abu Dhabi ... huhuhu. Anyone kat DBX pernah jumpa kat any market here???
