ASAM pedas when translated literally means sour and spicy. Synonymous to Johor and Malacca, this spicy gravy is served commonly at homes and at roadside food stalls.
Fish is the main ingredient in the dish while ikan pari (stingray), ikan cencaru (torpedo scud), ikan tenggiri (Spanish mackerel) and ikan merah (red snapper) are the popular choices.
