Chinese soup + noodles

in cantonese food there are wonderful soups, but we seldom eat them with noodles. the broth used for noodles in soup isn't the kinds that we normally think as real soup. It is bizarre and we have been experimenting with using real soup to cook noodles. Above: vegetable soup with macaroni. below: udon noodles with fresh coconut chicken soup.

Fancy breakfast

another fancy breakfast: coconut soup with lemongrass and red pepper, and stirred fried brown rice with shrimp paste.

investigating fish broth

We have been trying to make good fish-based broth at home cheaply. The first picture is noodle in a broth made with the juice from mussels. Second is the "leftover" mussels stirred fried with some asparagus. Last one is a broth made with fish bones. The mussel broth was heavenly but the yield was little. The broth based on fish bones is a bit disappointing, probably the cheap bones we can get from supermarkets ain't the small and flavorful ones we are used to in HK...
