What is it?

[vernplum]

I guess you knew we would never figure it out!

Not so sure about the next one, either, LOL!

I reckon either Yorky or Windigo may know this one.

 

[Windigo]

Oh, I should've been able to guess that! Though sauteed onions don't look that different to shallots

Not murtabak but it is from Indonesia.

It looks familiar but I can't place it right now, so frustrating

I used to love murtabak (still do, I suppose). Especially from the Royal Selangor Club in Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur.

No - sorry

I will let the folks west of the GMT line have a guess first before I reveal it.

Just give us some clues. That's what we tend to do in this thread if nobody guesses. I've often given so many clues that I feel I've spelt out the answer!

OK. First one: there is fish involved, and the green bit is banana leaf.

Oh ok so it's ikan pepesan? I thought I saw fish tails and banana leaf but the picture was too blurry for me to be sure.

You are very close!

Sorry to dissapoint! I have Indonesian blood, but Indonesia is a huge country and I don't eat that much fish, so I am afraid I know only this dish with those ingredients. Not sure what else it can be.
