Fish Soup

The cantonese make mean soup. Period.

Although Mama is not a born cantonese, but being married to one and living in Hong Kong for several years helped to hone her skills. And she is one amazing cook, I tease her sometimes that she could open her own restaurant and be the chief chef.

Now back to the soup. I love her fish soup. Its the real deal, cooked milky with fish bones and sweeten with tomatoes, white radish, apples and pears. We need to try our hand at this one day so we can make this often on weekends when Mama is not in town. One bowl of this and I can float in the air!
