Bittergourd, i just cooked this dish yesterday. My cooking method slightly diff fr urs. I added chicken wings into it. I marinated the chicken wings first wf soya sauce, oyster sauce & rice wine. Then i stir fried chicken first,when abt half cooked,I took it out.Then I fried the bittergourd wf fermented black bean+tau cheo paste,sesame oil,minced garlic+ginger,oyster sauce,pepper.

Is your bitter gourd the soft, very soft or crunchy version?

I do not hv tau cheo paste at home. Used to hv, but always ended up mouldy even though I kept it in the fridge. My boys do not like its taste, so I hardly used it. Very wasteful.

I find bitter gourd loses lots of fluid. My previous attempts ended up with watery dish. Do you encounter this prob?

mine is soft version,a bit like braise dish..after wash n cut the bittergourd,i'll leave the it in the sieve to drain off the water for a while.

if i fry it wf eggs,will be dry one....

i also store tau cheo in the fridge,use very long time but no mould le.

stir fry bitter gourd with fish slices.

I used the small bitter gourd - sweet with a tinge of bitterness. I think this type is tastier than the usual big long ones.

The fish slices is the very ugly looking fish. The fish monger will chop off the head and pull off its skin. Dunno the name. Ugly but sweet.

I did not deseed the chilli padi, added 6 of them but did not find any tinge of hotness :?

Hubby gives a thumbups for this dish FINALLY :rahrah:

wah,6 chili padi shld very spicy....the fish looks like threadfin

Hi everyone,


Chances upon this thread while surfing for lunch ideas. The fish is known as leather jacket or ‘teck Kia’ if you buy from the wet market. It’s a very nice fish with very little bones, or rather, the flesh detaches itself very cleanly off the bones.

Used to have problem with my tau cheo. Learnt from my Neighbour that the spoon must always be clean and dry when scooping it out. Tau cheo can normally keep for quite a while due to its high salt content.

Cheers

Not sure if this is the same Ayam Penyet with burning hot yet sensational chilli that you raved about, because couple of weeks ago we tried out this Ayam Penyet Ria at Far East Plaza since the SAKURA Thai/Indo cuisine seemed to have closed down.

Their chilli is really ...................

Cannot talk. Too spicy.
Not at first bite though.
You'd taste the FULL flavour after a few mouthfuls of the ayam penyet with the chilli. I was on fire! But yah, shiok. :siao:

Make me wanna try. But I don't go that area that often. In fact hardly ever.

Seriously, fire? Wait, is the chilli sweet? I hate sambal that is too sweet.

You're Westie tio boh? Webbie states got one in Jurong Point.

There are two ayam penyet restaurants at that level.

The one i went to was near the staircase at Far East Plaza Level 5. Nearest to the hair salons. Janet_lee88, can confirm the correct location? And nope, the one i had was fiery hot. Not sweet like some nasi lemak sambal sometimes.

The other outlet is at Lucky Plaza. You will be able to see the signboard if you walk towards Lucky Plaza from Paragon.

I do not find tau cheo sold in small jar. If it does not turn mouldy, can still be used after its expiry date? Can you share your dishes using tau cheo? Many thanks in advance.
