My Comfort Food (When I was sick the last few days)

For the last few days, I have been sick (and I mean VERY sick). I could barely get out of bed, and well, I tried to sit in front of the computer and I could blog a little but still, the dizziness just got the better of me most of the time.
I've blogged about how sick I was here

It was pathetic, really and I could barely remember when was the last time I was this sick. I couldn't eat much; everything was pretty tasteless to me and my head's spinning so much
Well, I'm happy to say that I'm getting better now - in fact much much better!:)

While I was sick, I had the treat of being served home-cooked food by Auntie who took the trouble to prepare plain and simple dishes for me (Thank you so much!~)
So, shall we go on a short slideshow on what I've put into my empty stomach for the past few days?

Lotus seeds with snow fungus in sweet soup

There were red dates and longan in it too; something to excite or to soothe those bitter taste buds (effect from the medicine)

Of course, good ol' Barley (it's barley again!~)


Fishballs with vegetables in plain soup

It was with white bean curd and cabbages as well; something which you can get from a Yong Tau Foo stall.
It was simple but simply delicious!~ :)


Fish fillets cooked in fermented bean curd sauce with sliced napa cabbage and cabbage

This was my favorite; it was boneless and the fish fillets were so juicy and tender. Really tasty:)

Fish fillets cooked with heavy soy sauce

The fish fillets were lightly fried before dipped into soy sauce to be marinated.
The fish tasted slightly saltish but the combination of the heavy soy sauce added a sweet-taste to the fillets.

Another choice of fish was this steamed white pomfret with plum sauce

It tasted really good; slightly sweet sourish and complimented the silky smooth texture of the pomfret.
The sliced tomatoes, ginger and celeries were a perfect addition to boost the taste of the accompanying gravy for this dish.


For greens, there was this plate of stir-fried kale with carrots


If you noticed, there were all dishes to boost the taste bud system; salty, sweet, sour, bitter (medicine:p)


And all this came from a few simple home-cooked dishes and yet done with thought and passion!~
Now with such pampering food when you're sick, who would mind being sick, right?
