I love hot and spicy food until I can spread chili sauce on my bread for food. Crazy me, I know, but that happened in my childhood. Now I am always seeking for more varieties and challenges in spicy food, especially when I am craving for spicy food after all the Chinese New Year food in these couple of weeks. I have recently found this “special ingredient” and was very excited to share with you how to cook this easy-to-prepare Nyonya Curry Fish Fillet. This curry fish recipe is a famous Nyonya cuisine, which combines the spicy hot curry flavor with extra sourish taste and spices that make it so appetizing.
If you first heard of Nyonya cuisine, here’s a simple introduction to the Nyonya traditions which are gathered way back over hundred years ago, when the first Chinese settlers married the local Malay brides in Malacca.

Chinese Lunar New Year is exactly in two weeks time. I always get really excited during this time of the year. Remember back home in Malaysia when I was young, there was no school for a week, we got to go shopping for new clothes, we could hang out with family, cousins and friends till late night, we got to play fireworks and we received red packets money (紅包) from elders and married couples. The most cheerful thing was we could eat all day long like a food marathon.
Chinese New Year literally starts on Chinese New Year Eve (除夕夜) where members of family will go home to have a reunion dinner (團圓飯) with the family, kind of like Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve. Then a complete Chinese New Year starts from the 1st day of the Lunar month in Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th day which is the Lantern Festival. It is the longest yet the most important festival for the Chinese people, that we will always prepare sumptuous and traditional dishes that signify good luck, wealth and prosperity for the coming new year.

I always love to eat fish because fish is delicious and great with benefits to our health. My mum always cook fish for us at home since seafood is cheap back in my hometown. I remembered my sister used to tell me ”eat more fish, it is good for your eyes”. Don’t know if that is true but I still have astigmia eyesight since I was young.
