The 1st time I tried this sweet & sour fish was at a Zhi-char (煮炒) stall near my home. This Fish head dish is very different from the usual Fish Head Curry where the gravy is thick. This sauce is soupy. The moment I tasted it, I was in 7th heaven. It’s spicy, sweet & sourish; it sang a melodious tune! After that, I knew I had to try making this at home.

Tips
Insert toothpick into fish. Fish is cooked if toothpick pierces through easily. Dish out your fish & place the serving plate on a warmer to retain its temperature. Drizzle the sauce over a plate of fragrant rice & enjoy. You'll never get enough of this Thai-style Seabass!
Since it was my 1st attempt, I bought some cheap chilli paste to experiment with in case I don’t succeed :)
Thai Heritage Sweet Chilli Sauce (S$1+), Holly Farms Sambal Tom Yam (S$3+). If you can’t find these brands, you can use any brand of sauces that is a little spicy & sweet + tom yam paste.
