This curry fish recipe is a famous Nyonya cuisine, which combines the spicy hot curry flavor with extra sourish taste and spices that make it so appetizing.

My mom has been telling me to have more soups habitually since childhood because she said soups are great for health benefits with purported rejuvenating and invigorating effects to our bodies. Therefore Chinese love to prepare soup as part of their daily meals as they believe soup contains the essentials of all the ingredients in it.
One of the scrumptious soups that I grew up having is the ABC soup. It is simple and easy to prepare especially to those who are busy and working fulltime. Besides, it is a helpful and pleasant dish to kids who do not like to eat vegetables.
