Tiong Bahru Market is my special place.
That is always full of energy and real lives breathing and calling.
I love to talk to people in stalls for asking their stories and local informations.
I have found my favourite sellers of each sections like fish, meat, vegetable and dry foods, which was fun!
The other day, I bought whitebait and made these fusion foods.
This type of whitebait is common and familiar in South East Asia, but it is not well-known in Japan actually. So I deep-fried the whitebait with Thai style and served with Japanese Dashi based Thai dressing together.
The dressing contains a lot of herbs, coriander and Thai basil, and tomato.
Dipping the crispy fried fish into deep-flavoured dressing that is twisted with Japanese Kelp Dashi is utterly scrumptious!
And as the side dish, I made healthy coleslaw salad which is twisted with white Miso paste and wasabi.
By adding white Miso paste, we can reduce cholesterol and calories and also can expect the benefit of fermentation of Miso for our digestive system.
The flavour of fresh Wasabi is completely different from artificial tube one, aromatic and not like kicky.
Some people were fascinated to noodle rather than fish, but the fried fish was a huge hit for grown-ups with beer! lol
Hope you have a great week.
