Mum’s Spicy Threadfin (午鱼) which is either the Indian Threadfin (Leptomelanosoma indicum) or the Fourfinger Threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum). The threadfins are some of the more expensive fishes you can find in the local market and they are usually steamed or cooked with porridge for children as the fish has no fine bones.
The second dish is Cabbage Stir-Fry with prawns, minced pork and wedges of tomato to give some acidity. Lastly, Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly with shiitake mushrooms and garlic cloves to round up tonight’s meal.
