Our Simple dinner...just pan fried Butter Fish and Tilapiah and Sauteed Vegetable
This evening I ask Mishu what she want to eat for dinner,noodles or rice?.She said yes to both as usual when I give her choice.oh!!I almost forget that I still have have half piece of Tilapia fish head from yesterday.Yesterday,I had to be Elliot driver, chauffeur him to Queens.While I waiting for him to finish his business in Rego Park,Queens,I went food shopping in Elmhurst with Mishu.We shopped at HongKong Supermarket .I bought some fresh fish,shrimp and meat.I love fresh fish like Tilapiah,Sea Bass ,Flounder and Salmon.I saw some butter fish on sale for $1.15 perpound.As you can see tonight, I Pan fried some Butterfish and half of Tilapiah.Usually I will coated with flour and ginger to Pan fried but Mishu is very hungry .I was out at few stores to run some errand without Mishu tagging along,so by the time I come back, it's after 6 pm.I quickly sauteed Chinese vegetable with fresh garlic and some chicken powder.I don't know what is the name but it's very soft and tender,not bitter.I can only get it from Chinese store.This green was introduce by a Pekingese Chef,said it's good .I guess people from China love this vegetable.I see they cook this vegetable everyday for their meal.
Mishu love fish in bone especially with soy sauce.She is much much better than her dad.Whenever I cook this kind of meal, it's remind my childhood time at home,Malaysia.When I was a young,I didn't have the luxury to eat boneless fish back then..Whatever was present on the table,we have to eat or else go hungry.Elliot warn me not to give Mishu eat fish in bone.Well,American don't eat fish with the bone and head attached,so Elliot is no different.He rather go hungry than eat the fish I present on the table.I told him that practise make perfect!!.I also told him nobody teach me how to eat fish in bone when I was a child,we just used to it .Well,he just said be careful when I let Mishu eat the fish.We don't want to send her to emergency room.He worried too much.I will just hand pick the fish meat for her not her whole fish.
Mishu keep calling "Nemo "!! Nemo!!" her beloved friend but still eat them..That is kid!!

Oh!! Ikan Hantu is one of the best fish.I remember this CNY,we eat in Chinatown.I order Today Special.."soon Hock"almost a pound cost $30..When the waiter bring the steamed Soon Hock,hubby refused to eat said why head attached??.My mom said Soon Hock in Malaysia also cost RM 100 plus in restaurant.All fish store clean fish for you here.Sometimes,I just drop few quater for them but they will clean for you without asking for extra money.Now is the season of Black fish,meat very soft and less bone.You should try that.
