Braised Fish With Tofu Puffs

 

Used to cook this dish at my MIL's place but it's a long time since then that I didn't cook this.  While browsing through a food magazine, I saw this dish and thought it's high time I prepare this dish for my hubby.  Of course, I like it too.

Verdict - tasty and delicious fish dish, good with rice or porridge.  The tofu puffs soaked up flavours of the sauce which make it tasty.
