I never considered omena a food item until I went to Malaysia and found out that Omena is a national dish, rather part of the national dish. In one month I had eaten enough omena meals to compensate for a whole adulthood of not eating the fish. They call it ikan bilis and nasi lemak, the national food has omena in the red paste, and on its own. You also eat omena in kampong fried rice and as a snack you can buy in the supermarket to eat in the bus on your way home.
