Teochew Fish Soup for Choya

I was quite tickled by all the businesses in Singapore doing their thing and trotting out SG60-branded products and food items. The Grateful Pet put out a 'Teochew Fish Soup'. They included cuttlefish and seaweed in there too. Excellent!

I hopped out to buy it at a store. I didn't bother with delivery because the brand's delivery timings don't match my schedule and I'm not buying that many packs. Vanillapup now located at the convenient Cluny Court stocks the soup packs and buying it from them is convenient.  

I shall get a fillet of fish and steam some slices for Choya to match it with this pack of fish soup. That would save me some effort in boiling down fish bones. Muahahaha. The Grateful Pet used barramundi. Choya isn't a fan of barramundi. I didn't have time to hunt down ikan kurau. Bought a slab of buri (鰤). Choya loves it as sashimi; the rest would be steamed and frozen to be saved for the next few weeks. 

Thawed out the pack 'Teochew Fish Soup' for a few hours in the fridge. This broth can be refrozen. The whole 240ml pack is too much for Choya to finish even in a week. I squeezed out 120ml of jellied blobs out, and chucked the rest back into the freezer. This 120ml can stay in the fridge and last Choya for three days.

Choya ate the buri as sashimi on the day I bought it. It was simply as a topper to her food. She does love her fish raw. The next day, it was time for lunch. So she can't be having all fish as lunch. She would need her usual base protein of venison, plus all the different offal and bone grind. That would go on one plate.

I placed the fish in the fish broth and heated it up for 20 seconds. It smelt divine. Choya obviously smelt it too, and from being fast asleep in her room, she zoomed to the kitchen and promptly laid down to wait for her meal.   

Choya loved this combination of her base meal, and a separate little bowl of fish and broth. She eats fairly daintily, and doesn't usually make a mess at all. She likes being neat, and she doesn't eat fast. I don't need need to use a slow feeder on her. She was pleased with what she saw. She carefully smelt both plates to discern what's for lunch, and went for the fish first. Hehehe. 

Dunking broccoli and carrots in broth is the only way to convince Choya to eat them. And she did. Although she still left them to the last bit because she doesn't like them. She ate them to taste more of the broth. Tehehehhe.
