Funny you should mention about your mother, my mother makes fantastic gulai tumis too. People in KL always call it as assam fish……but its not…. (BTW, I thought gulai tumis was a penang nyonya dish, I didn’t know it was hainanese.) My mother always makes extra gravy and we will drown the rice with the gravy, she makes it extra pedas too…yum! Its so nice, I will ‘drink’ the gravy….and suffer later!

I like BOTH belacans from Penang and Melaka.
The smellier, the better!!!!

im also a hainanese.butm so far i havent come across gulai tumis.my late father make a very mean pig trotters hainanese style.i would like to recommend you belachan from melaka.the difference between the penang version and m’cca are the former is made frm prawns head while the latter frm geragu(small prawns).it doesn’t hv the offensive smell like the ones frm penang.but the taste is smashing.
