Olá,
Timor-Leste,
more commonly known as East Timor became officially independent from Indonesia
in 2002. The country’s borders however were established by the Portuguese in
1702.
For
this country I decided to cook ikan pepes which is essentially a fish curry
that is cooked in a banana leaf. The curry was made with tomato, palm sugar,
chili, squid paste, turmeric powder, macadamia nuts, lemon grass and tamarind
pulp. The snapper was served on a bed of rice.
The
meal was quite nice, the combination of flavours created a taste that was
somewhat sweet, somewhat spicy and somewhat fruity. Snapper is a firm fish and
not bad at all.
I’m
actually about to jump on a jet plane, not to Timor-Liste but to the United
States and also Canda. Still set to complete my challenge by June, or so the
plan goes.
Tchau
