Fish Head Casserole

My mom shoved me this fish caput. Simply because she bought i whole large fish, had the fishmonger to cutting them into steaks in addition to she didn’t know what to make amongst the head.

Well, haha, it’sec not difficult for me to find a fashion to cook it. I just flipped the cookbook she passed to me. There it is, about at the terminate of this book is the “Fish head casserole”.

Actually, if it’second non because of me tasting this dish at my friend Siew Ping’second household back when I was xiv or 15, I wouldn’t even accept a instant look at this dish. It was actually a hearty delicious dish. I call back at Siew Ping’sec household, that was all for tiffin that twenty-four hour period. Everybody drowned their rice with this casserole.

And subsequently eating at her home a few times, I realized her mom actually cooked from this cookbook that my mom has besides. Well, my mom never cooked from it, hahaha! But because I have been flipping this cookbook since I was iv or v, the dishes that Mrs Loh made actually looked familiar. LOL.

I cooked this in addition to my family loved it besides. Both my girls loved the broth. We had this casserole with waxed centre as well as rice as well as it became a really satisfying meal.
