Otak Otak, Steamed

Wow wikipedia has an entry for otak otak! Saves me some juice trying to describe this.

I've tried 2 variants, the grilled and the steamed, the latter's proudly presented to you below.

There's even a fish head version of this which I tried in Johor some years back. It was kinda tastier as word is meat are richer in aroma nearer to the bones. The only thing I didn't like was the bones present in the paste.

I love otak-otak especially if you eat it with Nasi lemak. Mouth watery.. one of my fav. I used to have a lot of this when I was back in Singapore, they used to grill it. Till today I have not tasted a good one in KL, PenangHouse has this item, but Yucks. I don't like it.

Oh? I've not tried it with Nasi Lemak, will definitely be in my todo list.

While it's easy to find good international cuisines in KL, unfortunately it seems a lil tougher to locate good local food. This was taken in Bukit Mertajam.
