"On the left is the non-spicy seafood sauce section: the aroma of freshness hits your nose as soon as it's served. The fish is soaked in the sweet fragrance of seafood sauce, so tender it trembles when you pick it up with chopsticks. My child immediately started gnawing on the fish belly, even chewing the lotus root slices soaked in the sauce with a satisfying crunch, exclaiming, 'Mom, this is even better than what you get at restaurants!'—the seafood sauce gives the vegetables a subtle sweetness, light yet not bland at all. My child even ate rice faster than usual. On the right is our spicy dry pot section: the aroma of the dry pot ingredients fills the kitchen as soon as the sauce is poured on. The fish skin is grilled until slightly crispy, bursting with juice with every bite when coated in spicy oil. Even the celery stalks are infused with the spicy fragrance, becoming more flavorful the longer they cook. In the end, even the last bit of sauce at the bottom of the pot..." It had to be poured over rice and polished clean. The moment this pot of fish was served, the kids on the left exclaimed, "Mmm, this is so tender!" while we on the right were shouting, "Wow, this is so spicy and delicious!" The divider clearly separated the flavors; some were tender, some were fragrant. Even the usually picky kid devoured the lotus root slices. We used a special grill pan for fish that can be heated directly. It bubbled and steamed as soon as the flame was turned on, making it incredibly satisfying to eat and cook at the same time—the kids on the left were plucking at the tender, seafood-flavored fish, while we on the right were enjoying the juicy, spicy pieces of fish, taking a sip of wine, the spicy aroma mingling with the wine's fragrance, enveloped in the warmth—it was so addictive! If you don't have this special pan, a small alcohol stove with a regular grill pan works just as well, filling the air with a smoky, hearty atmosphere. Life is just too good!
Break one open, and the soft, stringy texture stretches out. The coconut milk hidden in the cracks oozes out, fragrant and moist, the aroma of coconut mixed with the aroma of milk piercing my nose. A bite reveals the bread is soft as cotton, the sweetness of coconut milk wrapped around the mellow aroma of wheat, a perfect sweetness that becomes more and more addictive with every chew. I've been trying to manage my weight lately, but with the smell and feel of this softness, how could I resist? So, I grabbed one, then another (with a silly grin), watching my family happily scramble for it. Any worries about losing weight faded away with the coconut aroma—after all, the carb-filled treats that the whole family can gather around to grab aren't always available. Losing weight? I'll worry about it after I finish this plate!
Black seaweed wrapped around white rice, topped with pink, tender Arctic sweet shrimp. Their tails were a vibrant red, as if they'd just jumped out of the water. Placed on the sushi, they looked like a blanket of vibrant red, a breathtakingly fresh quilt covering the rice. Sandwiched between the shrimp and rice, the cheese slices were gleaming with a milky aroma. Inside, tucked away in intestines and crab sticks, the meaty aroma was enough to make your mouth water! The carnivore in my family was so enchanted by the sight of this plate of sushi that he rushed over in two steps. The first bite revealed the crisp seaweed and soft rice, followed by the freshness of the Arctic sweet shrimp, the fragrance of the intestines, and the springiness of the crab sticks. The cheese still sizzled with a milky aroma, and the sweet and sour Thousand Island dressing and mayonnaise accentuated the meaty flavor. The sushi was so fresh, fragrant, and satisfying that I couldn't stop. Look at that guy, his chopsticks seem to have legs, he puts one bite after another into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, half of the plate is gone, and he is still mumbling, "the shrimps are so fresh" and "the cheese and meat are so delicious together", and finally he picks up the plate and puts it into his mouth, the whole plate is gone in the blink of an eye, and after finishing it, he licks his fingers with satisfaction and shouts, "I'll make another plate tomorrow!"
