Boiled fish with vegetables or Tinolang isda

Every time I miss my mum's expertise in cooking I love to try this recipe....She's very resourceful and creative especially in cooking vegetables.
She cooks whatever vegetables she gets from the farm and what we already have in the kitchen.

When I had my vacation in the Philippines everybody in the house was surprised because I wanted to eat more vegetables instead of those meaty food. I told them that I'm already some kinda bored eating meat and I cook my own food here.

They couldn't believe that I'm already an expert cook here in the land of smiles hehehe...
Kidding aside I learned to love cooking, love to experiment whatever my taste buds like.

For everybody who likes to eat vegetables, I wanted to share this tasty, easy to prepare and healthy food, Tinolang isda. But eating vegetables alone is little difficult I know but this dish is prepared along with fish so you surely will enjoy this !
