I can’t believe I actually “peng otak-otak” at home, but I really did. Otak-otak (otah-otah) is a South East Asian delight, popular in Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia, and consist of fish paste with spices wrapped & grilled in fragrant banana leaves.

My family loves my home-made otak-otak because of the fresh fish used in the fish paste mixture. If your family do not take chilli, you can make your own non-spicy version. It is great as a snack on its own, or served with Nasi Lemak (local rice cooked in coconut milk). Instead of grilling them the conventional way over a charcoal fire which really smokes and stinks the kitchen, I do so in the oven and the result is great. You can also add prawn, fish head or squid bits to make different varieties of otak-otak.
This is new to me, and it looks fantastic! I love that it’s cooked in banana leaves, and I’d love to try it.
Oh man, I feel inspire to make this soon. I love the flavours of otak otak..and it’s a great way to eat more fish I think!
Where do this otah-otah 2 otak-otak come from?
I don’t understand…
any seasoning required?
I didn’t use any and it’s full of flavour. If you like to you can season with salt and pepper.
Is that plate for me? I didnt know we can bake the otah in oven.
ooh lala…. this looks so sedap!
Yum! What a great way to pair otak-otak with nasi lemak!
This looks so interesting…we have a dish that we wrap in banana leaves also….
