If you are lazy and just want to have simple+sour+spicy

Taste almost like assam laksa but less work
Wash and clean the Mackerel Fish (I prefer Terubuk Fish). Blend all the spices together; Dried Chilli, Lemongrass, Shallots, Turmeric, Garlic & Belachan
Mix tamarind pulp with water and strained the juice. Add it the tamarind juice and spice paste then bring to a boil.
Throw in the pineapple, onions, 1 stalk of Lemongrass bruised & Galangal (lengkuas) let it cooked for 10 minutes, then add it the Mackeral fish & boil till cooked, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Add in the salt & sugar, to taste.
Garnish with ginger flower and mint leave...Done !
Serve with rice,...or you can add it rice noodle and treat it like assam laksa...
with "Har Ko".....Of course.

Hi Nyonya Chef, love your food pics here.
I got a whiff of the wonderful aromatic spices and took a bus here.
You sure one heck of a fantastic cook, and Nyonya dishes too. OUTSTANDING!
Men like you don't grow on trees, ha ha.
Long ago, wayyyyyy back in the late '70s, a young gorgeous SYT (sweet young thing) with cooking not in her resume secretly got her Malay and Nyona friends to teach her to cook.
Before that she was a genius at opening tins and cooking instant noodles.
Actually, ahemmm, she was preparing a trap....to nail me down as she had learned I love Nyonya food.
Upon graduation she invited me home to eat...fish head curry, sambal chincharu, secret recipie sambal belachan and pineapple fish assam.
3 diners, I was hooked, line and sinker. Habis cherita, game over.
Should have decline her invitation as my hobby was chasing sarongs, ha ha.
You have a nice day and happy cooking. Best regards, Lee.
ps, Add her delicious Nyonya cooking and she in sarong kebaya (and she not a Nyonya girl too)...very deadly combination, ha ha.
Uncle Lee, good to hear that nyonya dish bring you good memories. Lucky u, at least u have somebody that want to trap you, as for me, I started off cooking nyonya dish coz I like to explore food,...today,...I ended up being a kitchen slave to my home minister!Not as lucky as u! Good sharing & thanks Uncle Lee
