OTAK-OTAK IKAN TENGGIRI

More crunchy more tasty! This is a quote for Indonesian Otak-otak. Why I used a term "Indonesian Otak-otak"? Because all of us know that there is Singaporean Otah, similar but different. In Singapore, the otah is so tender, and it is not crunchy at all, though it still tasted good.

Indonesian Otak-otak made from fish, and you can take it as snack and main dish as well. I liked it so much since I was a little girl *I bet you like it too ;)*. I mixed and matched the recipe from several recipes that I got....So, hurry grab your fish and make it......
