Sweet and Sour Black Pomfret

This is a very simple, common dish which most children will like.  I used to make this for my children and they loved to mix the rice with the sweet and sour gravy.

    There's always the first time to try. Over here, whole fish is slightly cheaper than fish blocks.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010
