It's my first time and it seems to be quite successful. Stuffed Fish Paste Mushroom in the other hand resulted to be a little too salty for the fish paste. This was due to over putting salt and light soy sauce when minced the Mackerel fish. It could have been better. Nothing to shout about for the bean curd soup but just that I had put in a little too much of glass noodles. It doesn't look much at first but trust me, once it is soak in the water it became a lot. I like to learn and cook new dishes as I tend to be over bored with the same old menu. Most of the recipe is taken from the net. I am sure you guys have notice that lately there is a little improvement in the appearance of my dishes. I am still learning on creating appealing dishes. Sometime a simple decoration will make the dishes look more pleasant.
