Theo

So.. Does the fish taste strange?
What restaurant can I find this dish?

kat

that looks so good, I swear the Missus is so lucky!

Kirk

LOL Theo. No it doesn't taste strange, it's actually delicious. The flavoring is based on one of the 23 traditional Sichuan flavorings. Here's something:

Bang Bang Chicken is the most famous.
We love Guai Wei Can Dou (strange flavor broad beans 怪味蚕豆).

I'll let Her know that Kat! ;o)

Lynnea

Really, it's the name that's just so funny, because it looks delicious!

Kirk

LOL Lynnea......you know, maybe I should just call it "Exotic Flavor Fish".... ;o)

nhbilly

Looks good.
If I was lazy I would have whipped out the sauce use to dip lumpia with. ;-)

Kirk

Hi Billy - That would be an interesting use....though I'm thinking that Banh Cuom and this might go real well together.

nhbilly

I think the lumpia sauce is like a version of nuoc mam but with starch to thicken it up.

Kirk

Hi Billy - Actually, most places here use straight up bottled sweet sour sauce for lumpia.
