The mere mention of Otak-otak and the
visual picture of perfectly steamed and moist fish custard wrapped with banana
leaves often sets us mouthwatering. Otak-otak is a classic Nyonya dish brightly flavored with various
aromatic herbs, exotic spices, and infused with the sweet fragrance of rich
coconut milk. The fish paste is wrapped in banana leaf
parcels and then either steamed or grilled on a barbecue. The latter version
has a nice, smokey flavour. Otak-otak actually means ‘brains’ in Malay, because
of the springy, almost squishy texture of the cooked fish cake. Yum! delicious! So without further ado, here is a list of the best Otak-otak in Kuala Lumpur, just for you!
