Dear Mr Barua,
There is unfortunatly no link to Oxom - though I dare say the romantics amongst us can easlily manufacture one.....:).
ASAM in Malay means sour. So ASAM ( or ASSAM as is now spelled) curry is a sour dish - very similar to our "tenga" though with a generous dollop of fish paste or dried fish in the real thing. Bahasa Indonesia is linguistically the same as Bahasa Melayu or Malay - so asam in Indonesia also means sour.
So the dish in question is Fried (Goreng) Prawn (Udang) Sour (Asam).
best regards
Rajiv
