Catfish vs Parrot fish

Yay, I found catfish in the market and I saw the beautiful parrot fish too. But I have no idea how to cook it. It is too beautiful to cook. Anyone try it before? How is the taste?

Khmer Beef Stew with Noodles

A weather forecast suggests it would be the coldest day tomorrow in Melbourne. In order to have a warm comfort food tomorrow, no matter how complicated the dish is, mummy has to be ready for it.
Here is the plan - cook a big pot of warmer, delicious and aromatic stew- Khmer beef stew noodles (kurtiew korko). It never goes wrong in winter and kids love it. The only few dishes that they enjoy eating from morning to night. Why? Because it can be served with French bread in the morning, with noodles at lunch and dinner. Voila, kill three birds with one stone. It makes mum's life easy too!

Kimchi


Chinese cabbage (wombok/napa cabbage) is cheap during this winter in Melbourne. My family is kimchi's fan especially my youngest daughter. Well, after so many years of making kimchi, I realise I haven't written down into recipe- always old school, feeling, tasting and tasting. I will keep reminding myself to write it down when I make it next time. The ingredients that I use to make kimchi are Chinese cabbage (soak in salty water overnight), radish, Chinese chive or spring onion, carrot, sugar, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, Korean chilli paste, Korean chilli powder as shown in the picture above. 


Few days later, kimchi is ready to eat or make a nice kimchi fried rice (recipe at easy Asian recipe)
