The Perfect Steam Promfret
I was at this hawker center to try out the Huang Yi Liang, 老渔翁 Crab bee hoon.. but his queue was ridiculous.
Still craving for some affordable seafood, we saw an elderly uncle eating steam promfret. The fish is big for a person, looks really good & you can see the satisfaction on uncle's face! Uncle was seated near /Hanjiang Seafood Square 韩江海鲜坊.
The stall was very neat & clean. We ordered the steam promfret. At 💰 $8.50, it's a fish, rice & a bowl of soup. As my friends wanted to eat claypot rice at another stall, I told lady boss that we'll just have the fish.
The steaming took a while, about 15min, good food needs cooking time. Lady boss pack the fish & even gave me extra sauce. She told me to pour the extra sauce onto the fish, when I eat it.
The fish was PERFECT! The sauce is hongkong style, light, not sweet nor salty, but strikes at a perfect cord with your palette. A piece of fish, dipped in the sauce, into your mouth, it just melt in your mouth. I feel so blissful to be able to chance upon this perfect promfret.
