Hor Mok Talay (Spicy Fish Mousse)

Hor Mok Talay is not exactly a Phuket or Southern Thailand’s speciality, but the specific type and taste of Hor Mok you can find in Southern Thailand is Phuket style. Central Thailand has its own version. Southern style has a greater aroma with a smooth taste and texture.

Hor Mok is made of coconut milk, chilli paste, fish and some secret ingredients all put together in a banana leaf and steamed or grilled.
