Asam Pedas Ikan Pari

Hi uolls,

This is one of my favorite dish. Asam Pedas Ikan Pari (Stingray) with toasted coconut paste! When it comes to my favorite seafood asam pedas, I can never refuse Asam Pedas Ikan Pari, or sour and spicy stingray curry. More spicy, more shiok and I love it extra spicy so it’s double shiok!

A classic Malay or Minangkabau dish, Asam Pedas is popular in Malacca. Asam Pedas is tangy, spicy, appetizing and best served with rice.
