OMPOK

I've just learned that 'ompok' is not just a dish peculiar to the 'kampos' but is actually a specy of catfish. I suppose the name of the dish is derived from the name of the fish used (ikan koli ko, ikan semilang ko, memang sodap dibuek ompok). Nowadays, I'm seldom able to enjoy this dish since:
i. my beloved mother is no longer around to cook the dish for me
ii. I cannot rely on my sister to cook for me since she is always ill
iii. I'd love to cook the dish myself but then it won't be as tasty as if cooked by my late mother or
sister
iv. I'm not in the mood to cook anything anyway since I'm suffering from plantar faciitis.
Anyway, I do remember how tasty the dish is when eaten with 'nasi lemak'. My late father used to get my mother to cook 'nasi lemak' and 'ompok ikan kembung' for 'moreh' during Ramadan. The dish is also delicious eaten with 'pulut kukus'.
Those were the good old days!
