FISH SOUP!
Fresh Grouper in Lada Soup seasoned with only a few items:
white pepper, fish sauce and fried garlic.

eat the fish with steamed rice and a chilli dip (choose your fav!)
today, i had the thai chilli dip
- chillipadi, corriander, garlic, fish sauce, light soya sauce, lime juice

other days i might try these dips:
- tau cheo, chilli & finely sliced ginger dip
- sng mi chou
- sambal blachan (but i find this too "heavy")

below- what i wrote to an aussie friend:

fried garlic, salt & pepper. plenty of white pepper - till soup is spicy. u can use plain chicken stock (no herbs in stock).  my mum used water - just enough for your soup bowl. if u like soy or fish sauce u can add some. 

we cook like this with prawns, squid and meat too. 

oh and seafood cant cook for long. turn off fire once color of seafood turns. for meat, u need to make sure it's cooked. well, think of how the japanese are like with their shabu shabu... they don't overcook and most ingredients are sliced. 

if u hv a chinese fishmonger, ask whether their fish or prawns or squid is good for steaming. only the freshest can steam or make a soup. if they tell u the seafood is only for frying, it's either not as fresh or it has a taste not suitable for direct steaming/soups. chinese fishmongers can debone/fillet & slice the fish for you too. better still, go buy your seafood with a chinese friend who knows all these Lol 

oh. i think i wrote my food blog here😬
