Dennis,
Thanks for your comment and dropping by.
I use the belacan that I bought in Malaysia. Belacan (shrimp paste) – Vietnamese or Thai ones should be fine -try Wing Yip or Wai Yee Hong chinese supermarkets.

Great posting – thanks.

I live in London and have been looking for belacan – so far without any luck. Did you use malaysian belacan or thai gapi in your receipe?

Sefa,
Thanks for dropping by! I do crave for this kind of dish from time to time

Irene,
Thanks for dropping by and your comment. Water spinach and spinach are not the same. However, if you can’t find water spinach (kangkung), you can make do with spinach. I like the crunchy stems of kangkung, so, texture wise, this is what spinach don’t have.
I think that’s what it’s called sweet potato leaves in English. I have yet seen this at the local supermarket. Probably need to check at the Chinese supermarkets.. I am sure they have!

Pepy,
I was in Jimbaran, Bali March this year! I just checked the photos of the meal we had at one of the Fish & Seafood grill restaurants at Jimbaran Bay and indeed, kangkung was a complementary dish!!
Thanks for letting me know, else I wouldn’t have remembered!
