THE - Soft Tofu Stew

Since we got home from our Korea getaway, hubby was craving for Soft tofu stew which we had at Insadong.. So he googled some recipes then picked out 1 which he think would taste good and forward them to me so that i could cook it after work..

I have no idea where he got it from, i only had screenshot of the recipe, the address bar wasn't in the pic either.. Here goes:

THE - Fishy-fishy!

I've been losing touch with updating this blog.. I haven't been able to find the time to update since my precious toddler is clinging to me like a koala bear!

So hubz (hubby) was down with fever for 5 days.. and whenever i fall sick, ibu would be making me porridge.. but hubz, he doesn't like porridge (cos it reminds him of being sick, but he does whine alot when he sick!) so i made Fish Soup.. Soup is like the bestest food when you are ill, right? Who doesn't agree to it?

So here's the simplest & fastest fish soup recipe.. (it takes approx. 20 mins to cook)
