I was not a fan of fish head soup. Actually, I do not like fish. So every month when I clean the fishes and cut up the fish filet for my MIL, I will end up with at least 4 fish heads. We are talking about fish heads from snappers and threadfin. Each fish weight 2.5 kg and above.  So sometimes, I will end up with large fish heads too. All these are bought with cash. So I need to turn these into delicious meals so that the fresh fish head is being appreciated. For a start, since these fishes are very fresh, I will steam them with salted vege (teochew steam). Everyone loves it except my MIL was not impress.  She reprimanded us that salted vege is not good for our health.  So I started to explore other ideas like curry or assam fish head. I even cook it as sweet and sour fish. The last takes a lot of my time, though delicious but not much meat to eat. After learning from a colleague that her maid cook fish head soup just by boiling them for 1 hour, I decided to try out. I decided to p

We love Japanese food. Maybe it is quite similar to our daily diet? Rice, soup, sushi. All our favourite. In addition to meals, we also love snacks in Japan. I am not sure why, the cakes and bread sold in Japan is always good. I believe maybe because of the basic ingredients they owned. The flour? maybe.... maybe.  The following are food that we ate and love while we were in Hiroshima from 24 Mar to 2 Apr in 2018. Some gives us good memory and some don't.

The donut is soft and they refill your coffee when you finished. Good service and delicious donut 2) Matsunoya Tonkatsu  - Our favourite Japanese fast food ever since we visited Tokyo in April 2017. 1st it is cheap with restaurant standard kind of food. It taste better than those served in Singapore Japanese restaurant. The meat

Mee Jiang Kueh / Chinese Pancake MJK - my love for this grow fonder when I get older. When I was young, we have this as a treat on some weekend. When my late "ah ma" (mummy)  will pass us some pocket money, really, pocket money from her "zhao tee goo" illegal hawking selling home grown chilli, papaya or lime. My brothers and me will walk 1 and a 1/4 mile to this Punggol wet market. There was a stall opposite the wet market, at the junction where we walk to the movie theatre.  They have at least 5 small pancake pans lined in a row making pancakes on the spot. Coconut or peanut. The 2 original flavours. At that time, my pancake world in my "dictionary" is only this kind of pancake. Funny how, during that time, I am not a fan of Mee Jiang Kueh. I prefer those Noya layered kueh. Also, I hate coconut pancake. 50 years later, I started to love Mee Jiang Kueh and orange coconut fillings is my favourite. I got this recipe by coincidence. I happened to voluntee
