Let’s enjoy mum’s cooking today. Starting the steak of Fried Spanish Mackerel or Batang 🐟 as it is known in Singapore 🇸🇬 and Malaysia 🇲🇾. Prized for its firm, meaty, and slightly springy texture, the fish is a popular ingredient in many Asian dishes, particularly fish soup, porridge, and steamboat (hot pot), due to its mild flavor and ability to hold its structure in hot broth. Mum also cooked a pot of Braised Pig’s Trotter (卤猪蹄) with braised eggs 🥚 and Garlic Chives Stir-Fry 🌿 with minced pork and tomato wedges.
