Asam Pedas Lada Hidup

The menu for today...for those who cant take hot, forget about this recipe..hehe...this one for those people that have a 'rubber' tongue like me..hahaha..but you still can enjoy the dish if you reduce the chili quantities to your preference...since I dont have any stock for the veggies, I cooked the stingray 'TOKTOK' like that, the only veggies inside are the laksa leaves..hehe...this asam pedas also can compete with the asam pedas melaka.. yummmyyy..

Ingredients:-
