My mom is really great at cooking Indonesian dishes. But I'm not yet skilled with dishes that have a lot of spices; I prefer making cakes and pasta, hehe... But this time, I tried cooking goldfish with instructions from my mom. Luckily, the goldfish was very fresh, caught by my dad who loves fishing :-p
