Otak-otak is a local delicacy made<br />
of chili, curry, fish, etc. wrapped<br />
in a leaf. Otak-otak is rather common<br />
these days; mostly wrapped<br />
in a palm leaf, and barbecued. I<br />
prefer the original steamed Nyonya<br />
type but these days they are<br />
hard to come by. Restaurant Kopi<br />
Aik Hooi is one place where one<br />
can find the original Teochew style<br />
otak-otak that is also steamed,<br />
and the taste is heavenly.<br />
What I like about the otak-otak<br />
here is that it is cooked with big<br />
chunks of fish, a tasty concoction<br />
of curry, chili, and herbs, but<br />
a special leaf gives it a very fragrant<br />
flavour. <strong>The</strong> otak-otak here<br />
is rather spicy. For those unable<br />
to handle spicy food prepare a<br />
glass of water before digging in.
