Steam Chicken with Chinese Mushroom, Salted Fish on Angel Hair Pasta

Salted fish is some thing either you hate or you will adore and eat it. As for me, oh, I will melt with them. It is something I can't describe about. They are so unattractive, ugly and looks so aging. But if the are well pampered and cooked well, they are gorgeous, a dish fit for a king . . . like myself and yourself! My mum like to cook them with vegetable over a thick coconut gravy of curry. Trust me this is something to die for.

All of us love it without a question. Having an additional bowl of rice is not common as the gravy of this black bean sauce is awesome delicious, something that I can't avoid myself. or is it mummy's cooking that most of us can't resist?
