Sup Ikan Merah Hua Hin ( Red Snapper Soup)

So what else did i cook during my holiday in Hua Hin ? Well while at Chat Chai market we couldn't resist looking at how fresh the fishes are. Talapias, ikan parang, tenggiri , kembung they were all so fresh and they can even fry the fish on the spot if you wanted to eat instantly .

Red snapper or ikan merah has always been our old time favourite. The soft while flesh of the fish makes it a great combination with steamy white rice , kicap ( soy sauce) and sambal belacan ( pounded chili with shrimp paste), yummy , just by blogging this makes me want to
fry a red snapper right away .

So back to my sup ikan , why soup ? Well i'm on holiday remember ? So my resources are very limited , plus if you buy really fresh fish like these , making soup is one of th best option cause it won't have the fishy smell . So using the remaining condiments from my udang masak lemak , here s how to make really super easy, fast and simple fish soup while on travel:

- lightly pounded garlic
- lightly pounded ginger
- lightly pounded lemon grass
- bird eye chillies
- salt to taste
- red snapper cut into 5 pieces

Throw everything at once into the rice cooker with boiling water and let it simmer.

Tip 1 : simmer it max of 5 mins only , do not over cook the fish or it will turn to feel and taste like rubber .

Tip 2: eat it with white steamy rice with a dash of soy sauce, lime and cili padi,

Was so into the fish soup that i only manage to snap a photo of the finished product just before we finish the last piece.

Tip 3 : after about an hour of soaking in the pool , this hot fish soup is just what you and the kids need.

And after all that masak campak campak jea style ( throw everything in cooking style) , i got this foot massage from dearest Kaseh , so sweet !

Family time is best time in the world and everything else does not matter at all , don't you agree? Bliss !
