When I was working and had no time to cook, we ate out every evening. Nowadays, I am so used to cooking almost everyday that I am at a loss at where or what to eat when friend starts or family suggest dining out.
(Spicy stir fried asparagus)
I remember that we used to go to a Chinese restaurant nearby and one of my favourite order was the claypot cod steak and fish maw in broth. I loved the fresh and umami taste of the soup. There was no fishy smell probably because dried wolf berries were added to the soup.
(Silk tofu with shiitake mushroom and dried scallop)
I have not been to this restaurant for sometime and perhaps we would dine there again soon.
