So this is probably one of those weekends when I didn’t think about having any special food. I just wanted a simple meal, and for me, that means rice, vegetables, and steamed fish.
It’s probably because I’ve been eating too much rich and overly flavored food lately, so I just wanted something very simple to break the monotony. One of the dishes that came to mind was mixed vegetable rice. There’s this hawker stall that serves a variety of good dishes, different kinds of vegetable, meat, and steamed options.
I find that the best time to go to this hawker stall is before lunchtime, when the food is freshly cooked and the full selection is still available. If you arrive later, after lunch, the food isn’t as fresh or warm anymore, and the choices become limited.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of going a bit late this time, so I only managed to get about half of the usual selections. It was a bit disappointing, but I was still happy that steamed fish was available.
Usually, I would go for steamed red snapper, but since I arrived late, it was already sold out. The only option left was another type of steamed fish, which I didn’t recognize, but it turned out to be delicious too. The fish had a firm, flaky texture and slightly fatty meat. It almost tasted like mackerel, which I also enjoy, so I didn’t mind at all.
This kind of steamed fish usually goes well with sautéed fermented vegetables, but that was sold out as well. So instead, I had boiled and sautéed lady’s fingers (okra). This combination worked out fine because the fish was flavorful, and the okra balanced it out nicely, it wasn’t too heavy, and it’s high in fiber.
I think this was the perfect meal for a warm, pleasant day like today. A light meal like this doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I prefer dishes that gently warm the body, but not too much. I remember a few weeks ago when I had mutton soup, since it’s red meat, it made my body feel warm, and with the hot weather, it was quite uncomfortable. So today’s meal felt just right, and I’m happy with my choice.
And since the weather is great, maybe having a cold ice cream for dessert would be nice, right? It wouldn’t make me feel guilty either, a sweet way to end the meal.
I hope you’re all having a good weekend. Take things slow, relax, and enjoy every moment.
