Note: I made this recipe in few occassions when I live in UK, most time was when we have pot luck with my Asian friends.

Simple Tips:

Whenever you grilled or barbecued fish, that is wrap in banana leaves, they can easily get burn, but it doesn't mean that the fish is cook, so you need to keep an eye on this while cooking.

If you're not sure if the fish is cook already, pinch the fish with skewer or end of the fork, as it go through, that mean the fish is cook.
