-‘ Belacan’ and salted or dried fish.

‘Belacan’ is a condiment made of ‘geragau’ (krill) that has been salted, dried and fermented, and is an essential ingredient in Peranakan and Malay cuisine. It is usually mixed with chili, lime, salt and sugar to create ‘sambal belacan’, a must-have chili condiment accompanying meals eaten in many Peranakan, Malay and Eurasian households in Singapore and Malaysia

The history of ‘belacan’ is it believed to have been first manufactured about 200 years ago in Malacca. It was so closely associated with Malacca that it was given the nickname “Malacca cheese”. Others suggest that the condiment was originally made in Penang at Kampong Awak, a fishing settlement on the island’s north coast.

While, salted fish or ‘ikan masin’ is one of the oldest ways to preserve fresh fish in order to prevent them from decaying. Before refrigeration technique was invented, fish and other seafood were cured in salt or salt water.

Other than preserving the fish with salt water, dried fish is also very popular. The fish are gutted, sprinkled heavily with coarse sea salt and then left to dry on the beach in the hot sun for several days. The result is desiccated fish, free of moisture, which can be kept for months to be made later into many kinds of food. Many kinds of fish are salted. Common ones include stingray, gelama, talang, king mackerel, kurau and jack.
