Hed Chef: Thai-style steamed sea bass with lime and chilli dressing
Eating this spicy garlic-packed Thai-style steamed fish could well be a test of true love.
If you find your significant other willing to engage in a passionate bout of kissing after you have feasted on pla kapong neung manao, you know he or she is a keeper.
In Thai, pla is fish and kapong refers to the Asian sea bass, which is a popular choice for this dish. At the wet market, ask for gim mak lor, which is the Hokkien name for sea bass.
For this dish, the sea bass is blanketed in garlic and chillies, which are regarded as aphrodisiacs in folk medicine.
