Aahhh how convenient it was to just go to a restaurant in Malaysia and order a good meal and know you’re getting good value for money and great tasting authentic food. In Melbourne, I’m sure there are many Chinese restaurants in town that serve equally delicious dishes – but they are so much more expensive! Eating out is expensive in Melbourne, which is one of the reasons why I do less reviews and more cooking on this blog.

So here comes more cooking – a simple version of my very own steamed fish with ginger. I went to a seafood shop in Glen Waverley and picked the biggest whole fish I could find. I also double checked with the seafood shop owner to make sure this fish was good for steaming. She had her thumbs up. She was Asian. I trust her judgement, hehe.

A wonderful home cooked meal – Steamed Fish Head with Ginger and Japanese Tofu and Chinese Vegetables with Minced Pork in Oyster Sauce – serve dishes with rice. Mm mmm!

Dessert was a delightful Chinese steamed glutinous rice cake aka “Ang Ku Kueh” with delicious sweet bean paste filling – courtesy of Asian Grocer in Glen Waverley :p
