Achar Fish

It took @stevenneoh praising the texture of this #mockfish before I realised how blessed I was as a vegan in #Penang 😹 I have #veganfish this good every other week! It’s topped with a heavy #ginger #turmeric sauce that my #significantomnivore really enjoyed! She even said she much preferred what Steven and I were having to her omnivorous #fish-based otak-otak 😅 Hey, everyone knows the only way #finedining can be made better is through being #crueltyfree 😜 #veganisnotscary #pbas2021 #omnivoreapproved #nonya #peranakan #tiledreview

This entire string of reviews today is so #abillionhacks, I'm deconstructing their set meal into seven discrete parts 😊 Anyway, this was the #achar #fish, wherein a ridiculously realistic #mockfish fillet (2nd picture) was given the #turmeric and #ginger treatment. The seaweed layer on the fillet was so dominant that you hardly tasted anything else though 😅 Just a note on how they organise their dishes, some of the items in the vegetarian set are simply vegetarian/veganisable versions of their omnivorous fare, and they don't even bother to name them distinctly 😅 If you come here to order these standalone, do take note! #veganisnotscary when even the finest #peranakan #malaysianeats can be so convincingly reinterpreted ☺️
