This vendor is also selling Siomay(steamed fish cake) but without the batagor (fried fish cake) and instead selling on a cart, he uses a bicycle to sell the siomay.
Let's see together what's inside the big pan ;)
Siomay (fish cake), bitter gourd, cabbage, tofu (bean curd), potato - everything is steamed.
Cut into pieces.
Pour the peanut sauce and drizzle some sweet soy sauce.
Not forgetting the kaffir lime juice.
I love Siomay because it's savory and tasty. It's also chewable because of the starch. With or without the peanut sauce, I'm OK but yes, the peanut sauce and kaffir lime juice made the siomay so tasteful.
If you like hot, then you can ask for chili sauce on the side of the plate :)

I love the sound of these steamed fish cakes especially with the peanut sauce and kaffir lime juice! Very yummy!
ReplyDelete5 SF: It is very yummy :) One of my favorite snacks.
ReplyDeleteInitially I thought it is Siew Mai, but look at the last photo, it is like a combination of all the steam stuffs.
ReplyDeleteNice shots! But how many of those limes do you need to have some juice? They're tiny! ;)
ReplyDeletelittle inbox: Well, actually siomay is another form from siew mai, the difference is just the "meat" which siew mai is made from pork and and siomay is from fish, and siomay is eaten with peanut sauce :)
ReplyDeletedaziano: hi there, long time no see! :) Usually we only need one or two kaffir limes coz' it's very fragrant.

I would love to sample that. I doubt if I will ever get to sample any though. It has got to be a very healthy dish. We have two Chinese restaurants and 1 Japanese restaurant and 3 Mexican restaurants in our small town. No Thai or Vietnamese place. I will have to check in the city where we go. Beautiful pictures.

ReplyDeleteHow kind of the vendors to share such intimate glimpses and what a feast for the eyes. I only wish I could have just one teeny tiny taste.
