I love fishballs! I used to eat them with almost everything. Have you ever tried curry fishballs? That is probably one of my favorites. But I will definitely try your Fish Ball Vegetable Soup – its sounds like it wouldn’t take too long to cook.

I love your blog. You include so many different recipes and different dishes, I can’t wait to try them out!

Did you come up with this recipe yourself?

What is your favorite Asian dish? or Asian recipe to cook?

Why did you decide to start this blog?

Fish ball soup!

Falls under the category of foods that are “so simple yet so profound.”

It’s a favourite comfort food of ours too!

Jonah : Boil 700 ml water with a handful of ikan bilis for 30 minutes. Strain and remove ikan bilis. You can use lesser amount of water if you want. There is no hard and fast rule to making / boiling fresh ikan bilis stock.

Rasa Malaysia : Yay! Good to hear that we probably produce the best fish balls

Yeah, it is so easily available (in Malaysia) and simple to cook. I would rate it as instant food

I loooooove fish balls, too. What’s not to love, right?

The best fish balls are Malaysian fish balls, I reckon. Other country’s fish balls are all powdery, after you cook them, they expand 2X…scary.

And the fish balls in the wet markets are simply irrestible…so many different selections, shapes, colors, and varieties. Everytime I go home to Penang, I would hit the wet market in the morning and sapu all kinds of fishballs and cook up a pot of soup every day!!!

tigerfish : Really? Are they made fresh or imported from elsewhere? I have not tried those from Taiwan but judging from what you said, I would prefer the springy texture instead. One of my relatives make good fishballs (he sells fishball noodles) and one of his secrets is to put ice into the mincing machine to keep the fish paste cool

Kat : Home cooked food is usually simple but satisfying. This is definitely one of my favourites

Delicious & such a comfort food. My Mom used to cook her fishball soup exactly like yours, yums! Whenever I go back to Singapore to visit the family, the first thing I eat is the fishball soup & youcharkueh at the hawker center.
