  • You've got to try this recipe of mine. It's authentic to me. A nyonya asam pedas. It's not your ordinary curry. It's sour with a hint of spiciness and sweetness and fragrantly aromatic from the floral flower herb called "Bunga Kantan" in English it's called torch ginger flower or torch ginger bud.

      @@foodtripwithvictor Your welcome Victor, I love watching Nepali cooking and Delhi Food Walks and others. Seeing how they cook such amazing food in villages on the floor and I know first hand how tasty it all is for me is just a draw to that country.
      I’ve also noticed that in Nepali celebrations they fly the flag of both countries which is so respectful.
      I really wish there were TV shows in the UK that showcased all these special dishes and the local areas like in your videos and others I’ve seen in detail not just jumping about so quickly.
      It’s all so interesting, and amazing how people such as yourself speak such clear English and even in Nepal shop signs are in English and Nepali even though there’s no white people there 😂😂
      I went to a proper Malaysian place in Birmingham China Town, the food was amazing and blew my head off 😂🥵
      Really hope your mum is still ok, and always tell her her traditions and food are amazing. Just because Britain is seen as an elite country 🤔 doesn’t mean it is, people are so lovely and hard working in Asia from what I’ve seen 👍

    This is an old dish I used to eat this dish when I was very young in the 60s. Seldom find it even in Nyonya rest.

      That’s right. Rarely find in a restaurant menu as it won’t be same if made in big pot with ingredients blended rather than pounded.

    Assam pedas is not a nonya dish. It is a Malay dish, Geram Assam is our nonya dish.

      It depends where you come from and whether you have a peranakan lineage in your family or not. Asam pedas is a nyonya family recipe for Peranakan Cina in Penang. For my viewers who don’t know what is the meaning of “peranakan”. It is a term used for early Chinese settlers who adopted local Malay culture in their food when they intermarriage with Malays centuries ago. So you are right when you said it is a Malay dish originally, which to be more precise it came from Indonesia. Like any family dishes cooked at home, there are going to be variations on the ingredients used. As for “gerang asam” not “geram” it is not a quintessential dish for the Penang nyonya. Maybe in Melaka. But certainly not in Penang, and you should know if you are a Nyonya is that the Peranakan food in Penang, Melaka and Singapore can be very different or taste similar and called differently. It does not make the dish right or wrong just because you disagree with the name.
