nonya steamed angkorli fillet
i did nonya steamed angkorli (sea bream) fillet with cloud fungus for teban gardens community breakfast this morning on 21.4.2017. ^^
this my 33rd friday breakfast community meal at teban gardens community service centre.
i first started doing a community meal dish for teban gardens CSC on 8.1.2016.
the centre was started in 2002 after much effort & challenge by our RI friend who is a pastor of pasir panjang hill brethren church (pphbc) which owns & runs the CSC.

today, the sky opened up & there was a huge downpour.
i had to reroute by commonwealth avenue west to jurong town hall road as i expected AYE to be jammed, when there was such heavy downpour.

i still got to teban gardens before 8.45am.
today the crowd was thinner but it looked to be close to 100 still. 🙂
nonya steamed angkorli fillet
my steamed angkorli dish today was the same preparation as what i did a fortnight ago.
gimson nonya sauce
except that i added gimson nonya sauce to the fish. ^^
that gave the dish an added tangy nonya sauce flavour.
the staff & residents all liked it.

sheng shiong was still having promotion, but instead of S$6.60/kg, it was S$7.50/kg.
i bought 2 larger fish >3kg, and got the fishmonger to fillet the fish.
in total i estimated about 1.8kg of fillet for today to serve about 100pax.

preparation was simple as before.
just added 1 tbsp(big heap) gimson nonya sauce, 2.5 tbsp light soya sauce, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp mirin.
then added the sliced ginger, cut chilli padi, chopped garlic, cut spring onions, and lastly the cloud fungus.

i tasted the angkorli fillet.
texture was great, just cooked, not overly, and the nonya sauce was excellent.

it was a great variation form the usual hong kong steamed style, which was also very good, but it’s good to have a change.
always like the tanginess of nonya & thai chilli dishes.
