Cincalok Fried Eggs

What is Cincalok? Fermented tiny baby shrimp. The nightmare, I bought this Cincalok from the hypermart. Bottle was close up with the bottle cap, while I open it, it pop up like a coke bottle!! All the shrimp was all over my hand & my stove!!! You won’t image the shrimpy smell, it was horrible. Really smell like rotten shrimp. I end up cleaning up the kitchen for half hour before I could start cooking. Remember, if you ever get this bottle, please cover up with cloth/ big pieces of kitchen tissue while you open it, else you will have very unpleasant shrimpy kitchen. Do not add salt as the cincalok is already salty.
