Otak-otak
Otak-otak is a grilled fish cake made of ground fish meat mixed with tapioca starch and spices. It is widely known across Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia,Malaysia and Singapore, where it is traditionally served fresh, wrapped inside a banana leaf, as well as in many Asian stores internationally — being sold as frozen food. It can be eaten solely as a snack or with steamed rice as part of a meal.
Otak means "brains" in Indonesian and Malay, and the name of the dish is derived from the idea that the dish somewhat resembles brains, being whitish grey, soft and almost squishy. Nevertheless, it was only otak-otak from Indonesia that has whitish color, while the otak-otak from Malaysia and Singapore has reddish-orange or brown coloring acquired from chili, turmeric and curry powder.
Distribution
Otak-otak is found in certain parts of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. In Indonesia, three cities are famous for their otak-otak; Palembang, Jakarta and Makassar, nevertheless most of coastal fishing towns in Indonesia are familiar with this dish. The southern Malaysian town of Muar in Johor is a popular destination for it — people from surrounding states and even Singaporeans often visit to buy the famous otak-otak in bulk. It is commonly known in Singapore as otah.

This Is A Test
by: Attack! Attack!You said, you said, that everything would just work out in the end,
But I swear, I stare, into the face of adversity again
There's no turning back now,
So take your best shot, it's all that you've got
Won't quit with the pressure,
You know I'm never gonna be defeated
This is a test, a wake up call
It's a mission to talk,
Shock to the heart blow to the head
You said, you said,
That this is just the beginning of the end,
But I swear, I swear,
I will never let you get to me again
So just walk away now,
Well take your best shot it's all that you've got
Won't quit with the pressure,
You know I'm never gonna be defeated
This is a test, a wake up call
It's a mission to talk,
Shock to the heart blow to the head,
And a reason to fall
This is a test, a wake up call
It's a mission to talk,
Shock to the heart blow to the... head!
