Pindang Ikan

'I smell something sour, what are you cooking?' commented by hubby >.< As usual this fish broth does not entice him at all. I assure him that it is not fishy at all and he still did not even want to taste a sip of the broth...sigh so hard to please...Anyway me and my kids enjoy this fish broth especially in this cooling weather, so satisfying to have a bowl of hearty broth to warm up our tummies :D
