The days of cooking at home continues, and for someone like me who grew up on an island, fish is always a very familiar ingredient on the table, and when you have fresh seafood, the best way to prepare them is almost always by steaming.
Today’s recipe involves a block of fresh garupa fish filet from one of the local grocery stores, and instead of just normal steaming, I’m adding a bit of a twist – with BRAND’S Essence of Chicken.
I actually got the inspiration from this dish slightly more than ten years ago at Yap Yin & BKT restaurant in Seri Kembangan with their steamed haruan fish dish. The recreation for today is slightly different and simplified. Without further ado, here we go
Ingredients:
- 1 block fresh garupa fish filet
- 1 bottle BRAND’S Essence of Chicken
- 1 inch ginger, sliced
- 1/2 glove garlic, diced
- some wolfberries
- 1 tablespoon soya sauce
- salt to taste
Instructions:
- clean and dry fish, salt it lightly
- placed ginger both above and under fish in steaming bowl
- pour BRAND’S Essence of Chicken + soya sauce
- steamed for 10-12 minutes (depending of fish thickness)
- separately fry garlic till golden brown
- use garlic & spring onion as garnish, serve while hot
The result is a dish that’s also full of nutrient and also yummy to eat. Try it!

I normally discharge the water released from the fish before pouring the soy sauce.
choi yen: that’s definitely a way too!
Same as Choi Yen, steam and pour away the water first. Wow!!! BRANDS chicken essence – that sure does not come cheap!
suituapui: good stuff tho. 😀
I’ve never drank essence of chicken before…I wonder what that tastes like. To use a whole bottle of it is not too much? I guess when your fish is super fresh (and yours look super fresh..it even looks like ma yau), you probably don’t need to discard the water first.
eatwhateatwhere: You’ll have to try it, I love it!
i’m a fan of brand’s essence! 🙂 this recipe sounds really interesting, combining fish and chicken flavours. i saw a ramen shop in sri petaling offer ginger chicken ramen recently with brand’s essence, which sounds very tasty too :)))
Sean: oOoo ginger chicken ramen now that sounds good!
Thanks for sharing dear
Intan: hmm…
Looks light and fresh. I would like this with brown rice.
Monica: that’s your MO kan? haha.
