Bosou Ikan Sungai (Pekasam / Fermented Rice Fish)🐟
Pekasam is a traditional fermented fish delicacy cherished across generations, offering a bold, tangy flavor with deep umami notes. The fish becomes tender through fermentation, while the added rice gives it a slightly chewy texture that enhances every bite. Made using freshwater fish, white rice, salt, garlic, ginger, and aromatic spices like star anise and cinnamon, this dish brings a savory explosion of taste rooted in heritage. Best enjoyed with steamed rice, sambal belacan, or as a side with hot porridge.
