Ikan Pekasam

Pekasam is one of the methods used by the Malays to preserve fish. After being thoroughly cleaned, the fish is salted for two weeks, washed, then allowed to ferment for a further three weeks. The ingredients deployed for the fermentation are unique to pekasam making – toasted rice, tamarind paste and brown sugar. The fermented fish is washed then packaged for sale with some toasted rice. 

Lenggong is famous for its ikan pekasam. Mak Su Minah has been making pekasam fish for over 20 years. You can reach Mak Su Minah at +6013 479 7851.
