Sambal Stingray - 三峇魔鬼鱼

This is one of my favorite eat out dish. We tried to make this many times but it was never close. The reasons were many: it was too watery, not fragrant, chilli taste different, etc.

 This is the first time I start from scratch and it really taste like the hawker stall ones!!! The choking chilli smell sent us coughing just like in hawker centre... The burnt banana leaves add to the feel... Overall, very pleased with this new dish I learnt from 'the meat men'. 

#thankyoufor sharing

Definitely a keeper!
