♥...Threadfin Fish Curry / Ikan Senangin Masak Kari...♥

Started to cook fishes again! I'm not a good fish eater, except for the fried ones or curries that my Mom makes. Of late, my taste bud is changing and I too feel that I should feed my kids more fishes than chickens! Hehehe...

Made some curry using Threadfin fish or it's best known as Senangin in Malay. Simply tasty and meaty fish, whether you make it curry, fry or asam pedas!
