This dish... may be something which a good few may like. I would pin it down as a dish which would appeal to the tongues of people who like mild and bland kinds of food. Not to say this dish is not tasteful. It is tasteful indeed. The highlight ingredient in this dish was the sesame oil. I thought that was the reason why this dish tasted good. Sesame oil, besides it smell, gives the dish a nutty flavour and relaxes the zing of the lemon.
It consists of seabass, stock, white onion, ginger, sesame oil, lemon, pepper, light soya sauce, parsley, and let the steaming bring the seabass flavour out into the soup. The soup base is best eaten with rice and 'cili padi' in soya sauce. It is the perfect dish to eat on a day you're not in the mood to spend a whole evening in the kitchen. It took me literally 20 minutes to get this bad boy cooked up and served.
I would suggest 'pimping' this dish up a little by adding tamarind seeds or/and salted vegetables to give it the 'Teo-chew' effect. Seabass in itself is a meaty fish but probably the slices that I got weren't blessed in the meat department. There was more skin on it than meat=( A better option would have been the siakap or the red snapper.
Easy to make, easy to eat and a safe dish at that:)
