  Hello,

  Both Malay and Indonesia speak Malay - so asam means sour in both countries.

  best

    That is interesting. Rajib told that the word Assam means 'tenga' in Indonesia. Do you know any thing about the word meaning in Malaysia?

      well. this dish is also popular in Singapore and Malaysia. This one tastes like a cross between :tom yam of Thailand"and our ""tenga" I have not eaten the version with prawns as I have seen mostly that they dish with made with fish head. In the menu it is listed as "Assam Fish head curry". it is delicious.

                Do you know that 'Assam' is also a popular Indonesian Dish.
                Heard it before but did not know what it is. Here is the recipe.   
                Next time you go an Indonesian Restaurant, ask for it.
