I had never seen it before until I spotted it in Huai Bin’s post in his blog. Otak-otak sausages? Now, what on earth would those be? Sausages made from fish with otak-otak flavour? Gee!!! That’s new! I sure would love to give it a try, I thought to myself.
Well, it so happened that the other day, I spotted it…
…at the supermarket near my house. I can’t remember how much I paid for it but whatever it was, I just could not wait to try so I grabbed a pack of those, 10 inside, and took it home.
I did not even notice that they were, in fact, chicken sausages until the next morning when I took the above photograph prior to cooking them and I must say that I was a tad disappointed. Frankfurter ayam (chicken frankfurters)? Is it going to be any good, I wondered. Ah well, since I had bought it already, I might as well just cook and eat…which I did…
…with omelette and tomatoes on toast for my breakfast.
Yes, it was very nice indeed…despite the fact that it was chicken, not fish…
It had that same taste that one would get when eating otak-otak and I loved it though I did wish it could be just a little bit stronger for a much greater impact.
Yes, I’ve tried it and it was nice and I sure would not mind buying it again…but of course, the next time around, I would need to check the price. I guess it would be more or less the same as the regular Malaysian-made sausages (since they were placed in the freezer along with all the rest of them) and would be a lot more affordable that those very nice “branded” bangers that I bought once.
