Taste the World: Spiced Chinese Fish Fillet

We had another yummy week here in our house featuring a Chinese dish!  Just TWO more Chinese dishes and then we’ll be on to another country…any guesses?!  I’m still debating between two countries, but let’s just say it’s east of North America…

Do I have your interest peaked??  :)

If you’re not sure what all this "Taste the World" jazz is all about, you can check out past posts to see what I’m talking about.  

As mentioned in my Monday Menu Planner, this week I cooked Spiced Chinese Fish Fillet.  Firstly, here’s a picture for you:

 

Now on to the review…

It was really very tasty (no pun intended!)!!  You can see the breaded fish fillet here on the plate, and on top is the tomato/green onion "garnish".  The breading was very tasty and definitely had a hint of Chinese food as it included the Chinese 5 spice.  The recipe only calls for the 5 spice in the first set of breading (read the recipe to know what I’m talking about), and not the second set.  But I included it in both anyway, and doubled it.  I think it was still subtle but yummy!  Also, the tomato/onion garnish was cooked with soy sauce, but it was light and tasty and added a different flavour to the dish.  Overall, a very delicious meal!  My husband LOVED it.

Here are a couple of pictures of our trip to Hong Kong: 

Mmm…wouldn’t you want to pick up some eels or snakes for dinner??? 

 

What about preparing your food in the alley way? 

Or storing your LIVE chickens in a mesh bag?

 

Every culture is different - and so are their food and safety issues!  :)

Are you adventurous enough to join in??  Link up to Taste the World @ Hospitality Haven and come back each Friday to link up how it’s going for you.  Make sure that each Monday if you post a menu plan that you include a Chinese dish you’re trying for the week.  I look forward to sharing in this adventure with you!
