MCO 4.0 - Day 38

 8 July 2021        Day 38 of Movement Control Order 4.0

        This was almost another black font post. Malaysia's Covid-19 figures skyrocketed to 8,868 cases today, making it the 2nd highest in the country's history, just 152 cases less than 29 May's 9020 cases. And today we had 135 fatalities, the highest single day death toll ever! 

        Amidst the gloom, we managed to enjoy a rather tasty dinner. Of course when one of Marion Grasby's recipes is put to use, the dish is a sure winner! Her Thai Three-flavoured Fish (I used trout today) tantalises the tastebuds with the three flavours : sweet, sour and spicy. After the trout pieces were lightly coated with flour and fried, it was time to make the alluring sauce. Garlic and red chillies that had earlier been pounded in the mortar were fried, tamarind juice was added, brown sugar was generously scooped in and some fish sauce was swirled in. When the sauce had thickened considerably, the trout pieces were returned to the wok and given a good toss so that the sauce would cling lovingly to the fish. Finally, some spring onion were sprinkled onto the dish.
