Side Notes:

§ For the meatballs & fish filament, it’s very much up to your preferences to add or not to add, or to replace with others you like.

§ Optionally, you can replace bamboo clams to lala clams OR crabs, tiger prawns. It’s the seafood series and you will still get the fresh seafood taste out of it.
